This weeks intro Will shares recent challenges he’s faced with crowds in the ocean (and difficult people) and how he’s managed his mind through the process to regain calmness and get back to performing in the surf.

Liam goes onto talk about why stoicism is so important for dealing with other surfers - in letting people be idiots by turning a blind eye (but also honouring the need to sometimes step up to the plate if a line has been crossed!).

The boys also share insights from a recent surf they’d had together and the chat moves towards , guess what? Boards!! :) the nuances of them has us hooked for life!!

In mind body stoke, Will talks about how big an impact surf skating has had on his recent performance gains.

Liam talks about his recent training programme with kettlebells whilst aiming to strike a balance of being social and having the odd beer for his optimal stoke.

Stay stoked guys!

This weeks intro, Liam and Will surprise the hell out of them selves for getting very “mindful surfer” for a 30 minute stretch (rather than just talk about pubic hair management) by discussing the ins and outs of :

a) what the ocean does for our minds

b) why surfing is like a form of church

c) why hormones play such a big role in the spiritual feelings we get from the surfing experience

d) how nature keeps our ego in check!

In mind body stoke, Will talks about his recent use of nicotine and why he’s using it for the time being.

Liam talks about getting back on the horse after a social week he enjoyed but is now ready to kick back into gear for the next swell run we’re getting.

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam

In this weeks intro, we talk about manifesting the “ideal” surfing lifestyle and how when you have it , it’s already moved on because we adapt to our environment (and so therefore it’s doesn’t actually exist!)

Liam goes onto to talk about how that mindset of comparison and envy develops - social media!

In this weeks mind body stoke, we talk about boards and how challenging it is finding the right balance between a) performance end b) joy of paddle / pop up and speed down the line

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam

This weeks intro, Will talks about breaking his surf record for the last 12 months (almost 200 sessions) and how much better he’s recovering from surf / gym / life at the moment due to lots of habits but a new one being ;

CREATINE!

Liam then shares his personal experience with the supplement and the chat on Creatine recovery continues including dosage / timings and everything else in between.

We then go onto discuss recent surfs and how the boards we’ve ridden have affected them.

Liam has been on his FireWire mashup which has really taken his cutbacks to a new level and with Will he talks about trying to dial in the right board for the right occasion and how tough a balance that can be.

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam

This weeks intro we cover :

1. A comprehensive wetsuit review (surprise package comes in here!!)

2. We talk about recent surfs and how Will was being triggered and how he managed it (with other surfers!)

3. Letting go of joy - of that special surf and how just like in life, the highs come and then they go .. we’ve got to grow in acceptance to allow this flow (rather than try and cling on to joy)

In mind body stoke, we cover body fat and how it relates to surf performance

In surf media , Liam talks about a Kelly Slater clip and everything he’s put into his longevity programme (we CAN surf well as we get older but we’ve gotta be coachable!)

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam

This weeks show is a step by step from what we’ve learned from the last 3 weeks of crazy swells…

Here are the 5 key pointers we cover in the show ;

1. Sugar / alcohol is the no1 enemy to surfing gains because it ruins recovery & increases inflammation
2. The quiver plays a huge role in your progression ; keep tweaking it forward (and don’t forget to include fins!!)
3. If you’re not enjoying a surf, change something
4. Fear is excitement with the breaks on - get in and have a crack but if you feel like the fear is too great , then be honest with yourself
5. The best surf of your life is when you least expect it - the state of appreciation is already enough

stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam

Different format for today!

We discuss our 3 fave grovellers of all time as well as what we consider the 3 worst too (the ones that get marketed at us as grovellers but in reality need Noel Salas at Lowers to get them moving!)

Stay stoked and enjoy!

Will & Liam

This weeks show we talk about our recent trip to the Bristol Wave park and all the nuances that unfolded.

Liam was undecided about which board to ride - the one with more float and fun vibes or the one with lower float and maybe trickier to ride…

Will talks about how hard he found the first surf vs the second one - and why everything shifted once he adjusted his mindset

The boys then talk about how important it can be to experiment with new gear (but that it can backfire if you change it too often)

Will finishes with his CSC programme for better surf performance he gets with his clients :

Core

Squat

Cardio

and chats through how to navigate these for more performance and therefore more fun!

Stay stoked guys!

Will & Liam
