The Mindful Surfer

In this weeks show, we chat about Kelly Slater's pubes, Will's recent 7'0 mid length surfing and Liam's keel twin experience. 

In other stories, we talk about recent surfs - in what they did to challenge our minds and affect the stoke levels and get on to talk about why it's SOOOO important to let go of how our surfing looks (vs how it feels!!). 

Stay stoked guys! 

Will & Liam 

This weeks intro covers everything involved with a life aiming for balance and yet still getting in your waves - yes, there are partners, kids, jobs, dogs and chores that need tending, 

BUT...

You've got to take your chance to get your waves!

And...

There's NOTHING to feel guilty about that! 

Stay stoked guys! 

Will & Liam 

We're back....

After Portugal Trips, Covid and half term holidays, we're back in the studio!

Will covers big wave stories from his recent Portugal trip, 

Liam chats about the pro's and con's of quad fins in a wide tail board, 

We then both get deep on what it is happy, successful surfers do differently - in how their habit formation moves away from black and whites "on or off" the training/nutrition towards a more nuanced, daily routine. 

Its great to be back! 

Much love and stay stoked, 

Will & Liam 

In this weeks show, after the boys have recovered from Will's monstrously awful fart at the beginning, we go onto our longest ever intro chatting through a range of topics including: 

1. Surf-Life balance 

2. Surf fitness 

3. Butt-holes paddling in front of us (aka "the cave") - just listen 

4. Surfing expectation do's and don'ts 

5. Self honesty and why its the key to growth in and out the water

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam  

This week, we're back after 3 weeks off from recording due to holidays, sickness and loads of surfing. 

In this episode, we cover how to manage your mind and stay calm even when fear thoughts start entering the picture. 

We also talk loads about nutrition and how to make the most of your diet so you can get the most stoke (and performance) from your surfing! 

Enjoy guys and stay stoked!

Will & Liam  

This week, we go deep on surf kit; the in's and outs of wetsuits, boots, boards and the marketing that goes into them. 

After we've put the surf marketing world to rights, we go onto share insights on how to manage anxious thoughts in everyday life. 

Lastly, we go onto explain how normal it is to go through an up and down journey in your surf career - that almost every surf you ever have will be different to the last one and learn to let go of total control of this natural process. 

Stay stoked guys! 

Will & Liam 

This week, Will shares a near death experience that shook him to his core (and chats about how it affected him in the surf)...

Liam goes on to share his thoughts on how to manage fear in a world trying to make you do and believe things you don't want to! 

We also go onto share insights around the benefits of fasting and have a new segment "listeners questions" going on to talk about boards for UK waves

Stay stoked Guys! 

Will & Liam 

This week, we record sat outside in the cold after a great little surf at our local. We share how big a role expectation plays in a surfers life - and why surf forecasts are such a double edged sword! We then go onto talk about the "shit wave" police and why so many surfers are missing out on joy that's found in just surfing the waves you have (and not mind surfing the ones you don't!). 

Stay stoked guys! 

Will & Liam

This week, Will has an "accident" on the way to the surf whilst Liam's been grafting at home DIY'ing. 

The boys digress the in's and out's of wetsuit choices and why anything but an O'neill seems to be a mistake! 

Will shares a story from feeling like a massive kook at a popular wave and how he works through the triggers...

Liam shares the insight about flow experience - how do we reach and maintain it going into waves (or crowds) that challenge us more than normal.  

In mind'body'stoke, Liam shares stories of balancing his London lifestyle with trying to stay fit and healthy for surf.

The boys then share why alcohol (or sugar) is so appealing to humans and little hacks to keep a balance on it so you can still get the most from the surf. 

Enjoy the show guys! 

Will & Liam 

Liam and I cover the in's and out's of recent board purchases - Will's smaller, curvier channel islands "rocket wide" gets taken out in a punchy Cornish beach which proves both challenging and exciting all at once. 

Liam discusses his foamie journey - what he's loved and what he's found challenging when putting these wonderfully light hearted pieces of kit to the test in a range of conditions. 

We then go onto make the statement "the best wave of your life is coming....if...." - if you take care of your body and mind enough to keep your progressions going, no matter how difficult it can seem at times.

Stay stoked guys! 

Will & Liam
