SEAS THE DAY 2025!!!!!! JUNE 21-22!!!!
For the 3rd year in a row I am honoured to be presenting the workshop version of my Social Psychology of Surfing research (soon to be a book!)....
I will be presenting 2 workshops on Sunday...
The first 'The Mindful Surfer' is at 10.15am in the Ruffie WELLNESS HUB. This is my rolling research that grows each year and will form the basis of my book/handbook to surfing. It's for both new and seasoned surfers, and invites the participant to unpack the inner and social psychology of surfing from an individual to a global level and beyond. Challenging, thought provoking, and fun, but also important. The future of surfing is in our hands and minds everyday, take the challenge to make it the best it can be!!!
The second, 'Decoding the Lineup' is at 2.15 on the NUTRA ORGANICS STAGE and is exactly what is, except that it is from a personal responsibility perspective rather than from a 'take all of your shore-side biased into the water with you and act like a snowflake' angle.... This is one of the chapters from the Mindful Surfer workshop expanded to include exercises on thinking, audience participation, and useful takeaways.
At 45, having surfed my entire life as a multi generational ocean lover through grommet hood, adolescence, national and international competitive arenas, injury, trauma, motherhood and now peri-menapause, I have the same obligation as every generation before me - to share as much about our beloved surfing life as I can from the perspective of both learner and teacher. Social media and the surf industry is not our 'elders'. It is not where we should derive our wisdom from. Surfing is tribal and we should only learn from those that have surfed before us.
We stand on the shoulders of giants, and we are the new history of surfing. We are the history of each other. **
