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,

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!

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
