  • Pure gold

    So many gems in these podcasts. I’ve improved my surfing more in a couple months than I have over the last ten years, thanks to listening to the first 20 episodes. It has completely changed my approach and mindset in so many ways. I can’t wait to see what else is waiting in the rest of the shows. Thank you for creating this!

  • Great job 👏

    Thanks for sharing stoke, knowledge and giving motivation to make progress, as a human and a surfer 🙂🙏🏻🤙🏻

    Having inspiration to make something for surf community in Poland I have also published a podcast in Polish called “ABC Surfingu” and I’m always happy to listen to you and your guest to learn more and more.

    Maybe some time in the future I would ask to talk with you,

    That would be a great to have a live Surf Mastery experience.

    Nevertheless, thanks a lot for what you’re doing !

    Aloha
