Off-Water Training

Train with paddle-specific motion — on land.

The Prone and SUP Training Ergos deliver a scientifically correct paddling stroke when the water isn't available. Build perfect technique, muscular endurance, and anaerobic power that transfers directly to race-day speed.

The Ergos

Two devices. Both built for paddlers.

Whether you're on a prone board or a SUP, the matching ergo replicates your sport's exact motion — so strength built in the gym translates directly to speed on the water.

Prone Training Ergo

Mimics the prone paddleboard stroke with full-range resistance. Engages the exact shoulder, lat, and core muscles used in prone racing.

$150 AUD

SUP Training Ergo

Replicates the standing paddle stroke with authentic catch, pull, and recovery resistance. Build race-specific strength through the full stroke cycle.

$150 AUD
Why train off-water

Sport-specific. Indoors. Progressive.

A complement — not a replacement — to well-designed on-water training.

Perfect paddling motion

Groove the exact stroke mechanics of your sport, rep after rep, without the variability of open water.

Muscle endurance + power

Train the full energy system spectrum — from aerobic endurance to anaerobic peak power — without weather or surface conditions getting in the way.

Train any time

Rough surf, storms, dark mornings — the ergo is always available. Fit quality training into any schedule.

Designed by a coach

Built around four decades of paddling.

Mick Di Betta developed the Prone and SUP Training Ergos after 40+ years on the water. Each device is engineered to meet every requirement of a well-rounded annual training program — so your off-water sessions build race-specific capacity, not just general fitness.
