Hello again gang and if you are joining us for the first time it’s nice to have you along for the ride. This week Will is doing his best to keep things clean as we delve into long board vs short board musings, burnout, hitting the surf wall, saggy balls, nuance, supplements and sleep.

Liam has a new board and Will is sharing his 10 hacks for surf recovery. We chat functional patterns, injuries, mind – body connections and loads more all in the magnificently blown out mush burger wave that is episode 45 of the Mindful Surfer Podcast.

We are also spreading some brotherly love in the surf media section, as we cover Adz’ latest interview with surfer and writer Chas Smith on the Grumpy Surfer Podcast.

Welcome back gang! This week’s show has bottom turned its way to BOLT scores, board choices, selfishness, nutrition for wellness rather than the look, visualition and putting in the hard yards to create free and fluid expression in every aspect of life.

There is confessions of snaking and dropping in, real grumpy surfers and are any of us free of sin or ego.? Will is reading the oxygen advantage and Liam is still battling Will’s toilet humour. Liam is still bigging up Clayton and the Ombe team for the way it is helping his surfing gains and Will runs the Mindful Surfer segment.

We chat the power of music and the Solfeggio frequency , the frequency of love, mind movies, not forgetting to breathe and being the change you want to see in the world. All this and more in the open ocean monster wave that is episode 44 of the mindful surfer podcast.

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.

Liam is waxing lyrical about beer and signing up to the brilliant Ombe Surf coaching platform and Will is talking, flat spells, surf skates and dialling fins for his new board

All this and much more in the peeling, uncrowded reef break that is episode 43 of the Mindful Surfer podcast.

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. We look at Eckhart Tolle, serotonin, over consumption of 24/7 news cycles and whether the happiest people are those who escape the addiction of wall to wall bulletins. 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 social media and building on the many reasons to be cheerful rather than fearful.  

Liam drops in on Will, there is more breathwork in the mindful surfer segment and Will opens a whole new line on the ‘potty mouth bingo’ card.

All this and more in the pint sized point break that is episode 42.

Welcome back gang. This week we are chatting, FOMO, being stoked for others, gardening,  micro waves, hitting the right notes and on land practice.  We mull the freedom of not caring what others think and how this is a gateway to joy and play whatever your age. 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 and social media, being sucked into the comparison vortex, self-honesty and there is anarchy in the room as Will pocket dials the Mindless Surfer  

Not to mention surfing Guinea pigs, gut instincts, circadian rhythms, financial wellbeing, buying new boards, affordable kit and the tyranny of choice.   All this and much more in the gnarly shore dump that is Episode 41.

Why don’t you turn off the internet and go out and do something less boring instead?

Hello gang! This week we are talking - Drop ins, mistakes, living in glass houses while throwing stones around, surfing nemesis, grafting, selfishness, surf blockers, Italian podcast charts and even a bit of non-surf media, surf media.  

There is the mindful surfer segment as well as the usual mind, body and stoke hacks.  

Will is talking ‘hutters crutch’ , Liam is playing sweary bingo and is a taste for booze interrupting all those surfing gains?  Paddle in and take off with us on the barrelling wave that is Episode 40.

Deep breath gang. We are talking, face sprays, critics, cravings, walking the line between order and chaos, constructive coaching versus naysayers and detractors, mindfulness, surf media, diets, will-power, beer, cereal, fins and more all wrapped up with love and laughter into his weeks podcast.  

Thanks so much to all you beautiful beings for tuning in and keeping us stoked. We are grateful to have you all along for the ride. Here is to longer nights and good vibes.

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.

It’s been a world of Cold water surfing for us and we are chatting just how incredible surfing must be for humans to jump through the ring of ice for just one turn, or one wave ridden to its fullest.  We uncover the ‘Shit Wave Police’ telling anyone who will listen whether its ‘good’ enough to get in and asking whether it is the conditions that don’t live up to their expectations or whether there simply hasn’t been enough training put in. There is the regular Mind, Body, Stoke segment, surf rental 'ego-bubble-bursters', foils, kook slams, wipe outs and more all rolled up into episode 38 of the Mindful Surfer Podcast.

Here is to all the cold water surfers around the world!

The ‘surfers’ hair debate rattles on and Will is exploring his surf pube fascination and his ‘Charlton knots’.  There is laughter, depth,  dopamine hits, meditation, secret spots, endless swell and some monster waves.

We work through Challenging yourself, grit, gratitude,  building flow stacks, as well as blockers to wave chasing.

We also talk scarcity versus abundance and building gratitude for what we do have. Setting ourselves free from societal or self-imposed walls that hold us all back and giving everyone space to try out their authentic selves.

Wherever you surf, that’s where you are. Thanks to all you Mindful Surfers and the growing community for your support, messages and good vibes!

A post session recording, where we are chatting, Board apologists, peacocking (especially us fellas) and riding boards for image rather than function or feel.

Liam is talking books and the depth that long form exploration allows you to access.  There is more on cold water therapy, vagus nerve soothers, recent mind, body and stoke hacks and even a spot on hair care :)  Pub bores, big waves, books, bums and more.  All wrapped into the latest episode of the Mindful Surfer podcast.

Surf how you want gang on whatever you want. Go get wet and don’t get upset 🤘🏼🤙🏼
