Board Relay training plans, built for your goal
Board relay racing adds a clean beach changeover to everything a board race already demands — paddling technique, turns and wave-catching, but now under the pressure of tagging in a teammate. SportBlox builds your board relay training plan around your paddling fitness, changeovers and carnival calendar.
Who it's for
Faster individual paddling legs
Endurance and interval paddling work aimed at a quicker leg on the board.
Cleaner changeovers
Beach-tag drills timed to hold pace through the handover.
First relay season on a board
A technique-first block that builds paddling and turn mechanics without overloading a new paddler.
A week of board relay training
Example: a board relay paddler six weeks from a club carnival. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like fumbled beach changeovers, losing pace on your paddling leg, board control when tagging in fatigued and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Board Relay training plan FAQ
Do I need my teammates to train changeovers?
Changeover drills benefit from a partner, but SportBlox marks these separately from the solo paddling and strength work that makes up most of the week.
How many sessions per week?
Typically 4–5, balancing paddling volume with a dedicated changeover session and a rest day.
Is this suitable for a first relay season?
Yes, skill level scales paddling volume and changeover complexity for newer competitors.
Will it build toward our carnival date?
Add the carnival as an event and the plan tapers in the final week.
Can it help with a specific leg (lead-off vs anchor)?
Note your leg in the plan and paddling and changeover emphasis shifts accordingly.
