Surfs Up

Backblast: 🏄 Surf’s Up!

Where: #ao-beehive When: 10/14/25 @ 05:30 Q: @Waco PAX: :wreck-it-ralph:, @404, @Big Toe, @Dizzy, @Farmers Only, @dialup Count: 7

Format: Circle of Pain Type: Endurance / Core / Strength Concept: Ride the Wave

The Setup PAX form a tight circle, facing inward. Each PAX holds the hardest position of the current exercise (as called by the Q). The Q sets the tone and tempo—the wave starts with him.

The Flow

1. Q starts the wave: Performs 1 rep of the current exercise while everyone else holds the static position.
2. The wave moves clockwise—each PAX performs their 1 rep while others continue to hold.
3. Once it returns to the Q, he performs 2 reps.
4. The wave continues—each PAX now performs 2 reps when it’s their turn.
5. The count climbs each time the wave returns to the Q (3, 4, 5, etc.) until Q calls time or the set ends.

The Catch

• Everyone holds the hardest position while waiting.
• The goal is to “ride the wave”—stay strong through the hold, stay focused during your reps.
• When fatigue hits, it’s all about teamwork: everyone feels the same burn, together.
