“Basically your static breath hold like whatever you can do in a pool with a calm heart rate like you can basically under pressure like if your heart rate’s going crazy you can hold your breath for a quarter of your static breath hold,” Dorian explained to Rogan. He explains how, in both training and real-life situations, breath-holding becomes a different situation. With a normal heartbeat, anyone could hold their breath longer than in a life-and-death situation.

According to the big wave surfer, if someone can hold their breath for four minutes in a normal situation, that would be converted to one minute in a pressurized state. He explains that if the person in such a situation has high hopes for living, their heart rate will go up and they won’t be able to hold their breath for longer.

Training of the surfing legend

In the same show, Shane Dorian revealed his breath training. Dorian could hold his breath for 5 minutes and 34 seconds, so he knows that in a tight situation he could go for 25% of that time with a high heart rate.

He learned the 5 minutes 34 seconds breath hold in 3–4 days of training. He improved his ability to handle high heart rate breath holds as they taught him the science behind it. The key to it is remaining as calm and not thinking about the harsh situation you are going through. It’s all about the mindset as per the pro surfer.
