The Mindful Surfer

This weeks intro, we dive into what surfing gives us spiritually , mentally and physically …. AND - that we must try and find it from other areas of our lives too so we aren't too reliant on it for our wellbeing.  Will goes onto share insights about fear and how it shapes our surfing lives on land around lifestyle / career / family choices as well as in the ocean (steeper / bigger waves , trying to not look like a kook in front of the locals).  Liam then shares his thoughts on intuition in the surfing life - how powerful a tool it can be for when to say yes and when to say no. He goes onto talk about how much intelligence there is in the heart vs the head and how to access more of your true self.  In mind body stoke, Will talks about how powerful his recent fasting has been for surf performance - for reducing knee pain and clearing old junk out of the guts leading to higher energy levels. Liam talks about how important rest has been for him lately - a lost art form for a lot of us who do too much at times.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

This weeks intro, we discuss the finer art of managing ones arse crack in the surfing life…  After this important discussion we delve into new board purchases and what they've done for Wills grovelling potential.  Liam discusses recent board resurrections - an old Graham Bunt mid length that's gonna be the longest board he's ever ridden! Let the mid length journey begin!  We then go onto talk about how honest you've got to be about your surf fitness vs what boards you ride & where you get to surf (that the former plays a WAAAAY bigger role than anything else!).  In mind body stoke, Will mentions ;  1. Taking peptide bpc 157 (and the positive effect it's had on his health)  2. How big a difference breath work in the ocean has helped his surfing recently  Liam goes onto share recent challenges he's been working through regarding alcohol - how much joy he gets from it but also how much it's stalling his gains (and what he wants to do about it).  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

This weeks intro we dive into the nuances of  how you create your own version of surf happiness - in how you view conditions , how often you get to surf, where you surf, who you surf with etc etc  And the insight that we come back to over and over is life can't be better ANYWHERE else not because you're environment wouldn't change if you moved to indo but more because it's YOU who lives there and where ever you surf, there you are.  In mind body stoke, Will chats recent diet changes (in doing a little less fasting and it helping his surf energy) and also how powerful breath work has been for surf performance. Liam talks about being open minded to change and how much he's enjoyed getting a little more relaxed on diet and beers when you're around the right people (and that the people make the biggest difference to how those foods etc interact with your body).  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

This week we intro on how tricky our home breaks have been this winter and all the mental (and physical) challenges that's created.  Will then goes onto discuss his recent Bristol Wave Pool experience and he was NOT happy in the first session because of the delays and issues the wave park were having with the new settings. In the end , things all came good due to mental shifts and a huge winner was riding the Machado mashup - frothing on that new board and Will explains why.  Liam then goes onto discuss how important failure is for progressing as a surfer - that if you're NOT failing much, your progression will slow down…it's when you mess things up enough times that you make the biggest gains because it WILL eventually click - we've just gotta be brave enough to have a go! We then go onto chat about how progress speeds up and slows down at various stages in life - whether there's been a flat spell, injuries , work being busy - and that it's so important to stay positive and motivated when a slower period kicks in!  Will then talks about including pre workout carbs from honey and orange juice and how positive an impact it's had on his performance!  Liam talks about his recent fitness gains from getting out and running during our flat spell to keep motivation alive for when the next swells come around.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam   

This weeks intro we cover Liams and Wills recent surfs and all the successes and challenges they bought along with them.  From surfing with difficult people to trying to perform even in the midst of mental/emotional triggers, we hash out what it takes to get better whilst having a good time!  Liam goes on to talk about how much fun he had surfing his “cricket net” - a spot where he can simply get stuck into turns without many people around. Will also shares stories from his recent trip to tenerife and was obsessed with trying to keep the nose of his board facing the beach so he could perform tighter more vertical turns.  We then go onto talk about how close that switch and shift into the next levels of performance is and so therefore how important it is to stay stoked and keep persevering!  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

Liam talks about his recent FireWire seaside session and how he's been finding it on our home break - he then goes on to share his quiver, how he wants to upgrade it, and why! Will goes onto share his journey on mids and what they can do for our surfing - in having to work on slowing things down, lengthening compressions and therefore improving our style, hand positions, posture and therefore carves. “Step up” performance mids get discussed too and why they can be rad for trips or bigger days at home. We then talk about how easy it is to slip into a negative mindset around your surfing - whether it be junky waves / crowds / old injuries etc…but in coming out of those funks from looking in the mirror, appreciation and therefore flow comes back in abundance! We then share insights about how to stay motivated to be fit, well and well trimmed downstairs - that so much of it is about being kind to yourself when things slip and then, when we simply choose to - get back into what we know we can do to make our surfing lives more fulfilling all round and remind ourselves (hopefully) why it's so important to remain consistent - because surfing is worth it! Stay stoked!  Will & Liam

This week , we intro with a long chat about empathy in surfing and how it can be applied.  We then go onto discuss ,  - The appeal of the solo surf journey (self resilience)  - We discuss what we believe to be the most overused word in surfing - respect! (vs just being “mindful”).  - Will shares a crowded surf story he hopes will help other people  - Liam shares insights on thought management in crowded lineup - Board talk continues (as per) and chat about how big a difference fins make  - Will shares recent challenges to his hormones and bio hacks to fix it and get his mojo back  - Liam shares how he's managing his emotional self through his recent work challenges  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

This weeks intro we dive deep into a humongous intro - one that lasts the entire show due to the larger than expected break since our last show.  In order , we cover :  1. Wills pre tenerife surf training camp  2. Liams ocean knowledge vs wave pool progressions & philosophies  3. Wills no1 ever session in 21 years of surfing and how surprised he was about the board that allowed him the session  4. Why it's so important to let go of joy  5. How relative “surf progression is” to the human trying to progress  6. Why 90% of the time, it's not the board that's at fault , but the surfer and their fitness & mindset  7. Why NOW is the only time there'll ever be to go surfing , move to the coast or go on a trip (there'll always be barriers!)  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam  

In this weeks intro, we talk about our favourite wetsuit boots and Will goes full circle with his view on “solite”!  Liam then shares how hard he found a recent surf but seeks the positivity in the experience and what it taught him. He also goes into share in his next session only 2 days later, he felt epjc - we then go onto talk about how the universe seems to be set up this way in and out the water!  Will shares insights from dialling his quiver and how positive an influence it's had on his surfing lately. The board that's really stood out for better waves has been his JS el baron performance mid length. We then go onto talk about the importance of being able to chop and change the quiver to a) keep the novelty = happiness = Stoke equation alive and b) get the most out of the conditions!  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

This weeks intro is all about the surf trips Liam and Will had been on in recent weeks!  We go onto talk about :  1. Why more powerful waves makes EVERYTHING easier  2. Which boards we rode as the wave quality changed  3. How we faced our fears stepping up to new challenges  4. Why going away on a surf trip is such an important part of our surfing development!  Enjoy and stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam  

This weeks intro we dive deep into the placebo affect - the boards we choose all the way to the foods we eat - what we believe in will probably work!  We also go into share a surf story from a recent session (Will told someone to go in!!).  Liam then goes onto share how much someone's self awareness relates to keeping lineups as fair and safe as possible.  The boys also go onto talk about the failing adaptation theory - in how falling off more over many (many!) years, we get better at not caring so much about what people think which in turn helps us perform more!  In mind, body, stoke,  Will & Liam 

We took a trip to the Bristol wave pool!  Liam shared how he found the expert turns on his new seaside fish (maybe a little too much foam!) and then found the extra foam amazing for the setting down on the “advanced”. Will then shares how he found the expert turns on his new mid length (haaaaard going!!!) and then very similarly to Liam, got his 5'11 seaside really working on the advanced. We then go onto talk about how much quicker you can develop your surfing from being able to get “reps” in the wave pool compared to the ocean (depending on where you live!).   We then go onto discuss the philosophy of short term hardness vs long term ease and relate it to the discipline of good habits and why it's soooooo crazy how much inertia there is before doing them (and why it's therefore so important to be kind to yourself  if you're procrastinating but also be able to give yourself a kick in the arse where needed!).  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

Liam intros on why it's so important to not care how you look on a wave and how positively impactful that mindset was in his recent session in Fistral.  Will then shares his recent surf experiences and how much Golf messed up his body for his trip (and how much stretching and re strengthening work he had to do to get back in to “surf shape”).  In mind, body , stoke Will shares his “yoga challenge” he placed on himself for his trip and how powerful it was for his surfing (and how bloody crazy gnarly tough it has been sticking with that extra level of mobility work since getting home).  Liam goes on to share how motivated he is to get back into “surf season shape” having gotten back into old habits in summer. He shares how good it feels to be in that shape reminding himself to keep that constancy on track! In mind, body and stoke,  Will & Liam

In this weeks intro, Liam gives the details on his recent surf life saving event and all the insights that came from it including facing his fears, other competitors and doing something that's given him huge lifts in motivation for better diet , lifestyle and training!  We also go onto chat about how important it is we let go of what people think about us - in how we live our lives, what boards we ride, foods we eat - the LOT!  Will goes onto talk about “what makes the happiest surfer?” - someone who can be just as stoked for someone else's wave as they would if they'd had one of those their own! The boys also talk about naked surfing - with none other that Rob Machado… you'll be surprised what comes up!  In mind body stoke, Will talks about recent dietary choices and how difficult it can be to find the healthiest choices of “quick carbs” that are super useful for surf trips (he has a hack to get round that!).  Liam shares how in finishing his event - he's already put on some weight as he's loaded back up with carbs and some beers but then goes onto talk about how much he wants to get back to how he's been feeling recently.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

This weeks intro we talk about how powerful ego is in surfing - in what we post on social media, how we perceive other surfers in the lineup and how we perceive our own performance in front of “better surfers”.  Will goes onto talk about recent surf sessions on the north coast and how in love with the FireWire seaside he is! He goes onto say “there's no better surfboard for progressing your rail surfing on open face walls” After mindfulness breath work, Liam goes onto talk about how we can cultivate more contentment in our lives through gratitude awareness - especially for the health we have in any given moment. In mind body stoke, Will goes on to share recent surfing gains coming from eating cleaner than usual on his weekend trip and how much more fun he had in the lineup!  Liam talks about his up coming paddling event and how the extra effort on training & nutrition he's been putting in has made him feel over all.  Stay stoked!  Will & Liam

This weeks intro is a mix of emotional triggers on crowds, chat about free stuff we got given (from a golf company!) and how we've been staying stoked despite the recent flat spell.  The conversation goes into talk about why surfing gives us such a huge boost in stoke - that flow experience of zero thoughts about the past or future, just present joy.  We go onto talk about the evolving surfer who develops as much stoke on land as in the sea - through taking on challenges and seeking new flow based horizons.  In mind, body, stoke, Will talks about recent upgrades in his meditation programme - basically doing more, more often (and reaping huge rewards).  Liam discusses how there is no “right time” to take care of yourself and how good he's felt lately giving himself more time to ocean paddle, play golf and take on less to recover and feel better for taking on challenges.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

This weeks intro, the boys go in deep on wetsuit reviewing - the ones that we love and the ones we do not (over a 20 year surf career there have been a LOT of different suits!).  We then go onto talk about surf brands and how woke a lot of them are trying to be - pushing a silly unconscious message of “what we're doing to the planet from buying x or y”. And rather than brands go down that road, more just offer what they offer without hypocrisy or negativity. Conversation then goes onto how distract-able our minds can be and teaches the “focus meditation” - in how when we focus entirely on being present it aids every area of our lives and in particular - activities that require better focus like surfing!!!  In mind, body, stoke, Will talks about working on his ultimate weakness - his snap! Then utilising “exercise snacking” and getting the noticeable benefits for snapping onto his surfboard.  Liam shares how he's working on his “weak point” - his legs and his recent training on his legs has made a huge difference to his cutbacks!  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam   

Apart from Will sounding a bit drunk and bunged up from a cold during the week, he asks “are foamie's worth buying for your surf progression?”. The boys then hash out the various pros and cons.  Liam talks about what he's done for refent surf fitness gains - in how big an impact his work on land had on his wave count (according to Will “the most waves I've ever seen you catch in one hour”!).  In mind, body stoke, Will shares how the FireWire seaside has challenged him to eat a cleaner diet so he can get the most out of his new quiver (but also how it's messed with his mind being tempted to weigh himself - a habit he NEVER recommends to his clients ironically).  Liam goes onto share how good he's felt lately from reducing booze intake whilst upping his cardio workouts too. He also goes onto share how his recent gains have challenged his previous lifestyle philosophy and working out how he can strike the right balance between feeling good vs being able to let loose. Stay stoked guys! Will & Liam  

In this weeks show, we discuss recent surfs and how challenging they've been to access energy and therefore wave count and performance. We then ask the question “which is best for surfing - fuel from carbs or fuel from fat?”  We go onto share how important it is to consider your personal situation and how you like to surf…are you the guy / gal who sits out the back and waits for sets? Or are you someone who froths like a grommet on the inside? The latter surfer is gonna need a LOT more carbs than the former!  We go onto talk about recent surf success - in feeling like Machado (much more than looking like him!!) and how hard it can be to let go of it - in how we hold on to success / joy rather than let it pass (like it needs to!).  In mind body stoke, Will talks about “pre surf routines” and how big an impact they had on his recent surfs. Liam shares how cool it felt to surf super mini surfs (rather than get depleted from 2 hour + sessions) Stay stoked guys! Will & Liam

Popped hamstrings, chocolate consumption, recent surfs and supplements. Will has been trying the Rob Machado Seaside and Liam has been on a coaching course.  We are chatting about delayed vs instant gratification, Flow, reward, learning and progress.  All this and more in the latest episode. 

In this weeks intro, we discuss the various surf happiness myths of “do a surf trip = become happier” or “get to surf all the time = become happier” - why do we believe they're myths? Because we adapt as humans and where ever WE go - there WE are!!  We also go onto discuss recent surf sessions and how big a deal Will found getting his board choice right on that session (verses having got it totally wrong the previous day!).  Liam goes onto talk about how much joy he got from that recent session and the why - that he'd gone long enough without surf to regain that massive appreciation when it came around (and that keeping that alive is super important for our overall happiness!).  Loads more gems in mind, body and stoke with some bio hacking form Will as well as some non-surf, surf-media.   Big Love  Will&Liam 

In todays intro, apart from digressing the various nuances of Rob Machado's pubic hair, we delve deep into what self care can do for your surfing - aka - the better you take care of your body through diet and lifestyle, the better you'll surf!  So why do we question our boards so much when, really, it comes back to the surfer riding them? Because we bloody love boards and we're lazy :) :)  Will goes on to share what changing up his quiver has done recently improve his performance in the ocean.  Liam shares his recent insights into “quietening the mind” in busy lineups so you can enjoy your surfing more.  In mind, body stoke, the boys share training philosophy's for surf performance - in particular Wills experience with clients in seeing that volume of weight training needs to be super low for surfers so you can feel light and loose in the joints (but also strong from compound lifts).  Liam shares what he's learned about his shoulder rehab recently - diet and training techniques and how much those little tweaks have improved it.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam 

In this weeks show, Will reveals some of his stories from a recent trip to the canaries and the challenges that were involved…a mix of weird “good surf vs shit surf” forecast expectation anxiety that builds pre surf!  The boys then go onto share their thoughts on board choices - in how much they affect that sweet spot between performance and joy factor…and how incredibly challenging (and interesting) it is to navigate that journey regarding volume, rocker, fin choice etc etc.  in mind body stoke, Liam goes on to share his thoughts (and feelings) on how he's been managing his recent shoulder injury with diet, lifestyle and mindfulness exercises.   Will shares his insights on how big a challenge expectation was for his holiday and how he had to flip his mindset in favour of deeper qualities to a trip (rather than just solely focusing on the surf).  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

This week, our intro is all about our biggest ambition as surfers - happiness. Happiness in the ocean, in our health, love lives - all of it! What ever we do on land affects our performance (and joy) and vise versa.  In mind body Stoke, Will covers why integration of wellness habits is so much more powerful than waiting til (waiting til the gym, waiting til the yoga class etc) - to use this exact moment to do a small thing that can lead to big gains over time.  Liam goes on to share his insights on his January “reboot” and why surfing is awesome for creating a mirror for your level of self care - Mother Nature takes no prisoners and will hand you your ass if you've not put the work in on land.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

This week, we dive deep into board choice - what it does for your surfing and why it's so important to keep updating your quiver as often as you can. We then delve into what holds surfers back from progression and then what to do about it…with mind work, body work, evolving your boards, who you surf with, where you surf - we really go round the houses of nuance so we can get more from the ocean! In mind body Stoke, Will talks about the benefits of fasting for life and surf performance - dispelling some of the myths around how to get the most from your body.  Liam also shares his insights on diet in how much better he feels from removing processed foods whilst also trying to enjoy the occasional treat to enjoy the social aspects of food & drink. Stay stoked guys!! Will & Liam 

In this weeks show we intro on.our oneill wetsuit obsession and reveal all with recent escapades with their wetsuits and sponsorship!!  We also go onto what Surfline forecasting has done to our heads - the good, the bad and the ugly , in how to navigate “the future” as a surfer looking for that next dopamine hit.  In mind body Stoke, Liam shares recent fitness discipline challenges and how he's learned to dial it back in because it's worth it and it's all about building momentum.  Will shares his recent use of a ‘TENS' machine or “shock wave therapy” which shuts off the pain signal to the joint and how beneficial it's been for his ankle. Stay stoked guys! Liam & Will  

In this weeks show, we intro on boards (as per!) which leads onto our recent surfs and how we've been finding our boards, minds and bodies - Will riding his new 7'6 mid length and Liam still trying to get the most out of his 5'5 Hydra.  We also talk about the philosophy of a) how you're surfing now and b) how you'd like to surf in the future - and finding the balance between accepting your basic physical limitations whilst also being ambitious about what you can do to create a new future - better turns, less pain and more time in the water!  In mind body Stoke, we cover Wills recent 72 hour fast and what benefits it delivered. Liam also talks about how to stay on track when you fall off the wagon of good diet and exercise to try and move away from “health perfectionism”.  Stay stoked guys! Will & Liam 

This week, we go deep into what it's like to head into a busy (or local) lineup - all the nuances of ego, localism, surf ability and pre judgement come into play and we go round the house (with some crap ozzy impressions thrown in for good measure).  In mind, body and Stoke we talk about Wills recent zero carb journey to reduce inflammation in his ankle and how much we recommend experimentation (and research what happened in the 60's around “health” and the myths around saturated fat). We accidentally smash Gul wetsuits to bits and wax lyrical about our latest million dollar contract being sent out by oneill wetsuits !! Stay stoked guys! Will & Liam   

In this weeks show, we pose the question “is surfing the best form of exercise you can do?”.  That injection of high intense spurts of movement followed by rest feels pretty darn good for the body (and mind) but there are pitfalls we can fall into which we cover in detail.  We also talk dive deep into high performance grovellers vs high performance mid lengths for 80% of the surf we get, the virtues of both and how to dial that in to get more performance and joy.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam  

What is the pub surfer?  It's he / she who tells a good story. Why? Because it's fun and it's probably ego. But that's ok because we're all human! We delve into the banterful side of how inflated we make our “barrel stories” and then go onto dive deep into our own barrel stories and how they point to “have we had the hours of practice??!!”  We go onto discuss board buying - with all the nuances of finance, values & taking a chance mixed into it. In mind , body Stoke , Will shares recent challenges with his joint health and the subsequent changes to his mindset & diet to aid the healing process.  Liam is also on the prone paddling at the moment - he shares his motivations for it with the want and desire to prolong “ surf longevity” as we age.  Stay stoked guys!! Will & Liam 

On our 100th show - we have a free giveaway to announce! And a chance to say thank you to you!!  Liam goes on to talk about recent surfboard purchase jinx - bought a new board then didn't get to surf it for longer than he'd like! We go on to discuss the importance of building a quiver over time and why patience is so important in that process.  Will goes on to talk about how vital awareness is in building a better surf life - one that rides the challenges of not surfing as often as you'd like with calmness and positivity.  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

This week, we dive deep into why the ego is what holds us back from surf progression...we then talk about what we can do about it!  In true "mindful surfer" vibes, we discuss how to use awareness of your breath and your thoughts to allow the negativity to pass - falling off your board, not being able to get in the water, crowds, fears etc etc!  As Liam said "every person who's not on the dance floor watching people who're on it want to be that person who's on the floor...be the person on the floor - facing fear and doing it anyway"  Stay stoked guys!  Will & Liam

Liam discusses recent surf trips to the Bristol wave park - loving life in board shorts no less!! He rode his twinny and goes onto to talk about a thought experiment into what it might be like to test out loads of different boards and approaches to surfing at a wave park and what it could do to advance your surfing.  Will chat's about bumping into "the shit wave police" in the sea on recent Cornish excursions - and how different his morning and evening surf's were (performance wise)  The lads then finish on chats about mindfulness, the power of raising your consciousness via plant medicines and how to raise the stoke by taking better care of your body.  Stay stoked guys!  Liam & Will

It's surfing alone.. What ever it is - its about being authentic as to what YOUR version of surf happiness you like best! Stay stoked guys!  Liam & Will
