  • Used to be real solid

    This was at one time a great podcast, but now it’s become an advertisement for Van’s paddle trainer. Which, while is a great product, is just the center of far too many episodes.

  • Was good, now a commercial for its paddle product

    This was a great show at one point with informative perspectives of surfing style, lifestyle, different surf places. Now it has a consistent output of episodes about Surf Paddle Fitness which is pounded into the listener and promoting their Paddle Product (which is fine), but I came here to listen to a surfing Podcast, not an exercise commercial.

  • Episode with Clayton of OMBE Surf was great. I've following his advice through the Surf Strength Program (Chris Mills is the man) and this episode just articulated so many things I've been struggling with as an Intermediate Adv Surfer. I tried the technique of looking at the immediate section vs down the line and it was a major lightbulb/breakthrough moment (Google Map comparison to reading a wave).

    Keep putting out the great content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How A Skeptical Lifelong Surfer 4x’d his Wavecount w/ Adam Sime
Q: How has the technique aspect evolved with training?
Training helped slow and smooth the paddle stroke, improve breathing, and optimize body positioning, which translated into more efficient paddling and better wave entry.
How A Skeptical Lifelong Surfer 4x’d his Wavecount w/ Adam Sime
Q: Did it meet its promises in terms of results and value?
Yes, if you put in the work, you'll get the results; it removed travel anxiety and significantly increased fitness and wave count.
How A Skeptical Lifelong Surfer 4x’d his Wavecount w/ Adam Sime
Q: What did you think when you first saw the paddle trainer and the marketing around it?
I was skeptical and felt it sounded gimmicky at first, thinking it promised the world, so I held off and watched how it performed before committing.
Learning the Details and Big Picture of Surfing w/ Kuio Young
Q: What advice would you give to younger surfers about developing their style?
Expose yourself to diverse boards and styles, watch a lot of surfing, and let cues from others guide your own development, while preserving your own feel and joy in surfing rather than chasing a single technical ideal.
Learning the Details and Big Picture of Surfing w/ Kuio Young
Q: Can you describe the shift you experienced after your hip surgery?
Post-surgery, regaining range of motion opened up a freer surfing style, reducing pain and allowing a more expressive approach across turns, airs, and barrels, which also changed how I coach others.
