I have been enjoying water sports for many years. I built this calculator to help water sports enthusiasts track their calorie burn on the water.
Surfing Calorie Calculator
Surfing burns between 200-450 calories per hour, with most calories burned during paddling out through the surf.
How the Calculator Works
Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (hours)
MET Values by Surfing Activity
| Surfing Activity | MET Value |
|---|---|
| Competitive Surfing | 6.0 |
| General/Paddling | 5.0 |
| Body Boarding | 5.0 |
| Body Surfing | 4.0 |
| Casual/Learning | 3.0 |
Example Calculation
For a 70 kg person surfing for 2 hours:
1. MET Value: 5.0 (general surfing)
2. Calculation: 5.0 × 70 × 2.0 = 700 calories
