Modern surfing is described as an intermittent activity, with high levels of technical exigency and a diverse and robust physical condition demand. The objective of this study was to gather and apply different physical and motor skills tests directed to the fundamental and functional skills of surfing. Tests of the Eurofit, Fitnessgram, KTK and ProEsp-Br batteries were selected, as well as specific tests. Participants were male surfers (N=7, 13,13 ± 2,12 years, 1,57 ± 0,11 m, 48,25 ± 9,97 kg) and female surfers (N=20, 13,78 ± 2,04 years, 1,58 ± 0,09 m, 48,53 ± 8,11 kg). The tests from batteries presented mostly normal values according to the normative tables (medicine ball throw, arm flexion, long jump, abdominal, trunk flexion, trunk extension, square and plate beating). On the other hand, the tests that had no normative tables (flamingo, star excursion balance, burpee, rowing, balance board, Nelson test and monopedal jump) were compared with the general mean of the sample, considering a standard deviation, below or above the mean. The selected set of tests proved to be useful in identifying the basic capacities underpining surfing, in order to improve diagnostic, educational and training processes.
