3 Wave Wednesday

Your midweek boost of surf strength, stoke, and stuff worth sharing

🌊 WAVE 1 – Surf Strong Tip: Hip Flow That Keeps You Surfing

If your pop-up feels stiff…
If your turns feel stuck…
If your low back barks after every session…

It’s probably your hips.

That’s why I shared this pre-surf hip mobility flow on Instagram this week — to give you a quick, do-it-daily sequence that unlocks the exact range you need to move better in the water.

âś… Freer stance
âś… Less back stress
âś… Longer, smoother sessions

💥 This isn’t just warm-up fluff — this is surf longevity in motion.

🎬 WAVE 2 – What I Watched This Week

“Andy Irons: Kissed by God”

Heavy. Raw. Real.

This documentary goes way beyond surfing — it’s about mental health, addiction, and the battle between talent and inner demons. It reminded me that being surf-strong isn’t just physical. It’s mental. Emotional. Lifelong.

Every surfer fights invisible waves. Let’s keep showing up for each other.

💬 WAVE 3 – Quote of the Week:

“Discipline equals freedom.” – Jocko Willink

The freedom to surf without pain, to stay in the water longer, to feel proud of how you move — it all comes from the discipline of showing up for your body, every day.

You’re not losing it. You’re just a few daily habits away from feeling like yourself again in the water.
