Check out these great products I discovered from Sam George's article in Surfer a ways back. The Vasa Trainer will keep you totally fit for paddling out and for powering onto any wave. Living in the northeast and landlocked during weekdays, using my Vasa keeps me ready to thoroughly enjoy my weekend sessions and especially the annual vaca in C.R.

Copied from the Vasa website:
"The Vasa Ergometer will dramatically increase paddling endurance and anaerobic power. You'll increase force per stroke, stroke distance and stroke speed, all converting to INCREASED PADDLING POWER. You can monitor and test your performance to see your progression. You can do repeatable workouts with intervals, distance or even race simulations. And best of all... you can STAY FIT FOR SURFING!

The Vasa Trainer will build incredible strength and power to paddle and surf all day. You'll improve paddling technique, speed and endurance, plus you will save time by training at home in as little as 15 minutes per day. The Vasa Trainer will keep you “surf ready” when the waves are down."

I own their lowest price Trainer - it does everything I need for total body strength and paddle fitness and my 3 sessions per week are only 25 minutes long.
