There’s this wave.

One of those rare offshore breaks that only comes alive a few times a year—way past the reef, where the ocean gets deep, wild, and a little spooky. It’s the kind of surf spot that lives in your head, long after the sets stop rolling in.

In this episode of Saltwater Season, your host Mikey—lifelong surfer, storyteller, and ocean junkie—shares the tale of chasing what he calls a ghost wave: an unpredictable, heavy-water break that pushes the limits of skill, mindset, and stoke.

We’re talking:

• Big wave surfing

• Fear vs. flow

• The mental game behind surf obsession

• Risk, resilience, and that deep pull the sea has on us

This isn’t just about scoring epic surf. It’s about the psychology of surfing, the rush of paddling into the unknown, and the soul of the ocean that keeps calling us back.

If you’ve ever stared down a sketchy takeoff, skipped work for a swell, or felt totally alive mid-drop on a glassy face—this one’s for you. Whether you’re into reef breaks, slab hunting, or just love surf culture and ocean stories, tune in and ride along.

Let’s chase something wild.
Let’s talk story, saltwater, and what it means to live for the swell.
