    Thanks DLS! Digging into all the past episodes and can’t get enough. Found the Troy Eckert talk very illuminating and inspiring for a past prime surfer who also keeps the fire alive that my best friend wave is still ahead of me

My parents are wonderful examples of resilience.
555 - Landon McNamara
Q: With this win at the Eddie, do you have any ambition to chase a big wave surf career?

Q: Tell me about how that event unfolded for you and then eventually tell me about the winning wave.
It was a day filled with emotions where I felt peaceful, and I remember a moment with my uncle Garrett helping visualize my victory. I was just going to do my part and let the gods do the rest, which ultimately led to my winning wave.
555 - Landon McNamara
Q: What was your level of fitness or just your kind of surf readiness leading into that event?
I had gotten back surgery like a year and a half ago and I was doing a lot of breath work while trying to heal, and eventually got re-familiar with my strength leading up to the Eddie.
