Welcome back gang, the weekly show has landed it’s latest 360 air and this time we are looking at leaving the party on a high, knowing when to get out of the water, 10,000 hours of practice, taking training seriously but with a smile on your face, not trying-trying, nudity, image, meditation, change, crowds, hierarchies, hustling and knowing your happy place when it comes to waves.

Welcome back Mindful Surfers. This week we are chatting, good vibes at wave pools, summer crowds, queues, snaking, happiness, fixed states, control, fear and how good vibrations attract waves.

Especially if they get out and get in the Ocean. We are attempting to take our own advice to take breaks from the mind numbing effects of s...

There is more breathwork in the Mindful Surfer Segment and how mindfulness practice is a slow burner but the rewards of getting comfortable with stillness and silence are deeper over time. We cover Pre bed rituals, the distraction of surf a...

We are talking anticipation and expectation, Hemmingway, breath work, and body hacks. There is the pain of dropping the ‘surf shield’, getting comfortable with uncomfortable, ego challenges, training our weaknesses and starting with the hard stuff first.
