The Art of Missing Waves
A short read & mental re-framing of the way you think about catching, but more importantly, missing waves…intentionally.
No cost. No spam. Just value.
Most surfers think improvement comes from catching more waves...
And that’s not wrong. But without considering how you will get more waves, this almost always leads surfers to paddle harder, longer, and to force things when all signs point to “it ain’t happening”.
When you approach waves with a must-catch attitude, you set yourself up for a lot of hard work, frustration, and a sore back and shoulders (potentially even long-term injury).
In all your blind ambition to catch waves, you miss out on clearly seeing the wave and learning over time how to read them better. Now is the time to learn that paddling harder doesn’t make you better nearly as much as being a more mindful surfer will.
