This weeks show , we talk about the mental challenges of recent surf sessions and how they’ve come about from being in more crowded waves and whether people are bringing good etiquette.

Will got frustrated in a session he talks about , Liam does the same - but in each of the stories there is always some learning and resolution we can take with us on land and back into our next session.

In mind body stoke, Liam shares the awesome gains he’s been getting from doing an over head kettlebell press - and doing it regularly enough to really notice the benefit.

We move on to talking about how profound a difference it makes to be leaner for surfing and the basic logic involved in doing a power based sport.

Will then shares his mind body work and how much he’s been enjoying just feeling good … as corny and mehh as it sounds (but that inevitably he wants “something” and of course , it’s a new board!).

Stay stoked guys!

This weeks intro we talk about every surfers hardest first world challenge ;

no surf!

Liam then shares how he’s been staying stoked on his social life and enjoying his swims and Will talks about using Bristol Wave park and little wind swells here and there to keep some stoke alive.

We then go onto talk about how surfing provides so much but because it does, it has another side - not doing it!

Be it through flat spells, injury , work, family, finances - not surfing is hard for surfers but there is a cure: being mindful of your habits (how you think, what you eat, how your relationships are - the more you focus on what you can control, the easier it is to accept because you “rely” less on surf.

Then there are also wave parks and surf skating but we know they’ll never beat the mega sessions at the local beach. And here in lies the key message - that going without is good for us because it builds patience which builds a deeper stoke appreciation for when it does come around.

Stay stoked guys!

This weeks intro we cover recent surfs and how fun it was to

a) have a small nibble of local swell

and

b) travel for some epic sessions on the north coast and Bristol wave pool

The main takeaways were:

1. Expectation is the biggest obstacle to a surfers journey - mastering the art of letting it go and you opens up a whole world of possibilities

2. Wave pools are AWESOME tools for progression because they’re tricky and they offer up so many of the same walls to hit - get to one !!

3. Gratitude for the surf you get to experience no matter how small or how infrequent is the surfer who is stoking…isn’t that the goal??!!

Stay stoked guys!
