  • New board vs New Body ?
    Jan 27 2026

    Straight out the gates, Liam shares a ridiculously funny story about his pay packet from working up north as a labourer for his dad!

    The boys then go on a mega long snake run of chat around the “it’s January … it’s tough… let’s be fitter and enjoy our surfing more” mindset challenge that faces most surfers at this time of year!

    We then talk about how to become someone who is disciplined with their training and diet but also manages to strike a balance with social / release & treat foods (without them hurting your surf performance)

    Finally, we delve into a recent dreamy surf session , the one you hope might come along and re invigorate , and it did ! Sun was out, head high sets, uncrowded, perfect shape, heaven! A reminder of why we surf!

    Stay stoked guys!!

  • Surf like no one’s watching
    Dec 29 2025

    This weeks intro , Liam talks about having an awesome session because he was frothing a previous surf that had been a bit busy and tricky.

    Will then talks about his recent wave park visit and how much he loves the mashup. Liam also rides the mashup and comments on how well it paddles and turns sooooo easily compared with other boards he’s ridden.

    We then continue to chat about getting the right board under your feet and why going for a little more foam and a slightly flatter rocker is never a bad idea for an average surfer.

    We then talk about mid lengths and how much of a boost they’ve given surfers performance and joy recently too …

    We then talk about Wills recent Bristol wave visit and how much it flares his ego looking at footage and what he learns from that.

    Liam shares a hugely valid point - that there’s no such thing as “failure” but simply incomplete attempts and how that reframed the whole surf journey in our favour.

    Stay stoked guys!

  • Being kinder to yourself on performance
    Dec 22 2025

    This weeks intro, we cover a super psychedelic series of nuances regarding Sesame Street and how each of the characters would surf!

    Liam then goes on to his most recent surf and how much kinder he was on his performance than last time out (and why not?! If you can choose, why NOT be kinder - it leads to gains so much quicker because you can give yourself room to learn)

    Will then shares his recent nutritional discoveries in relation to his surf performance and how it has NOTHING to do with what he left out that was slowing him down but entirely doing something new (if you don’t change something - what can we expect ?!!)

    The boys then go on to talk about recent fin and board tweaks which have led to new discoveries too.

    Liam then shares his challenge of being in a busy lineup recently and having concerns over a) the safety b) am I gonna get a wave? and c) can I be arsed?!!

    Stay stoked guys!
