  • Surfing Lesson #255: My Surfing X-Factor
    I've spent my life CHASING AFTER AND MODELING the best in the business...
    Michael Jordan (basketball)
    Allen Iverson (basketball)
    Al Linder (fishing)
    Kevin Vandam (fishing)
    Andy Irons (surfing)
    Dane Reunolds (surfer)
    And this ☝🏼️ only names not even 1% of my idols.
    I would even model my dad
    And Jesus
    And mentors...
    I'm not saying any of this is wrong.
    It's just that inside of my obsession of modeling others, I never gave myself permission to be ME!
    And THAT is what I, God, Luci, my kids, and the WORLD has been waiting for!

  • Surfing Lesson #254: A Powerful, CLEAR Session
    I often USED SURFING AS A DISTRACTION to numb the pain and pressures inside my life...
    Distract myself from the disconnect that seemed impossible to tackle inside my marriage
    Distract myself from feeling broken in my body with disability
    Distract myself from constantly feeling like I'm NOT ENOUGH for all four of my kids and all of their wants and needs
    Distract myself from the fear and feeling of inadequacy as a man and producer for my family
    Distract myself from the alonesness I felt as I was waiting for God to rescue me like a giant, helpless baby.
    And because the pain was so big and my COMMITMENT lacking, my surf sessions ALWAYS lacked presence and power.
    The one refuge in my life to hide from the pain couldn't even fill my heart and life with joy...

  • Surfing Lesson #253: Sticking With the White Water
    Learning to surf has its moments and even SEASONS where it seems IMPOSSIBLE!
    Not unlike marriage
    And parenting
    And business
    And fitness.
    It can seem overwhelming and forces many a man to throw in the towel.
    In these moments...
    Take a breath,
    Slow down,
    And focus on mastering one step at a time along the path.

  • Surfing Lesson #252: Triggered By My Butt Cheeks!
    What I see πŸ‘πŸ‘, exists in me.
    What triggers me, exists in me.
    What fires me up on the inside as I'm looking at someone else, is what exists in me that I RESIST ABOUT MYSELF!
    We fight with our spouse and get frustrated with our children because what we experience in them that we are not cool with
    Is exactly what exists inside ourselves, which,...
    Were NOT COOL WITH!
    If we don't fully love, accept, and OWN all the pieces of ourselves, it's literally impossible to connect with and love those pieces of others, even those we "think" we love most!

  • Surfing Lesson #251: BS Detecting!
    We HATE being bullsh*tted by someone!
    Whether it's the guys on TV, social media or our friends and family.
    But at the end of the day, there is literally only ONE PERSON who can bullsh*t you...
    And it is the MAN IN THE MIRROR πŸ‘€ .
    Face THAT man and HIS bullsh*t, and no one will be able to bullsh*t you!

  • Surfing Lesson #250: Get In, Get Out!
    When I first started surfing, I had to spend at least 2-4 hours in the water at a time.
    It was like there was a bug in my brain that if I didn't surf for at least 2 hours, it wasn't worth it or I wasn't enough.
    I used to be the guy who'd spend 3, 5, even 8 hours per day in the gym when I traveled in the military and didn't have to concern myself with family responsibilities.
    It was never enough.
    The same bug plagued me inside my family.
    If I didn't spend hours a day with my family, especially my kids, I was a sh*tty father.
    Sex was always at least 45 minutes so that I could prove myself man enough to Luci.
    She didn't care. I was only proving myself "man enough" for MYSELF! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
    This bug of massive time investments and "never enough" robbed me and my family of the true connection and passion I was always hunting for.
    Once I could master the game of "Get in, get out!",
    I could take back control of my life and become the master of myself!

  • Surfing Lesson #249: Your Weightless Words
    A surfer, no, a boogie boarder 😱 was trying to convince me that I should try a particular surf break because it's insane.
    And while I'm not opposed to making the drive and giving it a shot one day, there is no way I'm packing my sh*t and making the drive immediately this week to try it out.
    His words didn't hold much weight to me.
    So what is it that gives POWER and WEIGHT to your WORDS?
    The answer to this is greatest gift of life itself!
    The answer to that question ☝🏼️ is the key behind LOVE, CONNECTION, PASSION, FREEDOM, TRUTH, and everything else we truly want!

  • Surfing Lesson #248: Gossip In the Lineup
    Talking sh*t behind people's backs is pure poison for relationships.
    I used to be SO against it. Thinking it was wrong and horrible and stupid.
    Yet so blind that yours truly was the king of it.
    In fact I would talk sh*t about people who talked sh*t!
    All the while have dozens of justifications why what I was saying was not really gossip, but more like edifying conversation and catching up.
    And yes, even while surfing.
    Wow. So blind.
    And to this day, I pay the price for the "justified" sh*t I talked YEARS back!
    Gossip is pure betrayal. It destroys relationships and can hurt like hell.
    And no examples show that more clearly than inside marriage! 😭🀬

  • Surfing Lesson #247: Inspiring Noob Determination
    Most surfers lump ALL newbie surfers into the KOOK category.
    But...
    I was blown away seeing these noob surfers carrying their heavy longboards ALL THE WAY DOWN the bluffs
    Just to PRACTICE learning to surf!
    Only to get their butts wooped and have to carry their heavy longboards and exhausted bodies ALL THE WAY BACK UP!
    These four determined individuals were anything but kooks, at least that day.
    When there is a will, there is a way!

  • Surfing Lesson #246: Surfing Right Through the Swimmers!
    SURE, THEY WELCOMED ME TO SURF RIGHT THROUGH THEM...
    They were hooting and hollering and having a good ol time
    But I was hesitant. I was scared.
    Am I good enough to not slice someone head open with one of my surfboard fins?
    Are they competent/capable enough to not get hurt by me SURFING right through them?
    These fears and concerns kept me going in the opposite direction of them.
    Until the perfect wave lined up and I decided to GO.
    You see, I often have been so scared of my anger and feelings thinking that I'll hurt someone.
    "Am I enough?"
    "Can Luci handle me full of anger?"
    "Can my kids handle me feeling ashamed?"
    And these fears kept me hiding, holding back, and going in the opposite direction.
    Leaving me and my family disconnected.
