Training for specific sports

I would just do PPL but I'm worried about not only hitting each muscle group once a week.

I live in florianopolis, Brazil in case anyone's curious.

Surf more. Surfing is almost all about technique rather than strength.

look it up on youtube, I am sure there is lot's of content
also, swim a lot

hey man i surf everyday and have done so for 12 years.
best training for surfing is surfing, i swear to god.
even paddling, ive seen guys heavier than me and with muscles half the size of mine snake me and paddle way faster than me. all technique.

That said, last summer i spent roughly an hour and a half a day swimming in the ocean on top of my surfing and that helped considerably.
If any gym exercises help, its pull ups and lat raises, i noticed a difference after lat raises.

Also, get a custom surfboard. Believe me, it makes a HUGE difference. I paddle at least 20% better as of getting a custom board, I got one from channel islands because a friend worked there and i got a discount.
your handling will improve dramatically, paddling feels like gliding and balance improves.

I grew up skimboarding on a beach across from Seattle, but the rides were never as long as I wanted them to be.

I'm gonna be headin to Hawaii and Cali pretty soon and wanted to give surfing a go while i'm there. Is foot placement and balance similar to skimming? Will my skimboarding experience be useful for surfing?

i used to go to a gym where one of the pai brothers worked out at. i noticed him doing mostly upper body workouts that develop and strengthen shoulders, back, and delts. i assume he is doing this to increase his paddle strength when he is out on the water. since paddling is crucial to surfing i'd say start there and see if you notice any differences when you're out on the water.
