When the chaos of life, the high king tides and massive NW winter swells, all combine to form damaging and potentially deadly conditions, do you have your strategically placed sand barriers in place?

Are you in love with paddling, or just focused on the next wave? Are you tolerating paddling? Or are you a master paddler? Darn, so many questions!

Every trigger comes from the 10x version of myself knocking on my door, calling me to BECOME more like that him.

I didn't always find it easy to use a longboard in the middle of a crowd of shortboarders. Neither did I dance!

I am beyond grateful that I even get to check the waves and consider paddling out. It hasn’t always been like this. I spent two years in disabled darkness wondering if I would ever get to surf decent waves again. no miracle occurred, at least none on the outside with my physical body. I had to dig down deep into my pit of despair to find the fire inside me!

Oh, the conversations that go on in my head when I know I should do something, but justify not getting off my butt and doing it!

Either I master my body from the moment I wake up, or my body masters me! I can no longer afford to be my body's slave!

Recovery is no joke and must be respected. In fact, it takes both sight and courage to recover, and avoiding it leads to consequences well beyond myself!

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I'm making a shift based upon what you've told and asked me for, and I'm excited to SHIFT the frame of The Surfing Lessons Podcast!

Hiding my weaknesses have failed me time and again. On the other hand, exposing them, acknowledging them openly, and clearly communicating what I'm committed to has lead me to accelerated results. What have you been too afraid to admit, and what are you missing out on because of it?
