Hi, I want to train too!

What is your goal? If it is to hold longer while surfing, I would say the mental aspect of breath hold is probably the most important. Staying calm, moving slow, swimming slower to the surface. Everything slow motion and relaxed. My favorite description is: "jellyfish like", just go with and absorb everything, don't fight anything. I saw a video of I believe it was Slater in a pool a while back doing some breath hold training, and he was having his friends knock him around as he tried to stay calm and extend his time.

Been surfing for almost a year now and have been progressing quite fast IMO. Yesterday, I surfed a 6-7 clean break and had overall one of the best days of surf ever. There was one wave where I felt like I went over the falls twice. I felt my breath going and the last few seconds I struggled to get to the surface. I also run high level cross country so my cardiovascular strength is there. Any tips on how to increase the time I can be held under water? Pretty scary for my first time.

some of the top pro surfers take a freediving class. It gives them a good background for whatever they face.

There are some exercises to hold your breath for a long time, I think applying them can help you hold your breath for longer. @john
