Is your surfboard too big for you? But how do you know? Join us as we discuss. You'll have to excuse the quality of the audio this week! Brother Cole joined us on this episode and we had to make due with two mic's between the three of us.
In this episode, Coach Chris and Coach Evan dive into the topic of positioning yourself in the ocean so you can be a more seasoned surfer, with a more calculated approach to your session.
Walking on the way to catch the sunset in the middle of a continent, thousands of miles from the ocean...Coach Chris has a special note to you.
A semi-ironic, kind of serious, but mostly joking list of qualifying characteristics that make up a true surfer with returning guest, Erik Schwab. https://www.saltyvisionz.com
What a good topic, and if you haven't thought about it, you ought to. Pace is one of those subtle and infrequently discussed topics that can secretly make-or-break your sessions. Mindfulness and consideration of your pace will help get the most possible out of your surf sessions because we all know how valuable time in the water is. Join Coach Chris and Coach Ev as they help you begin to explore some considerations regarding your pace.
This week's guest is a close friend of The Surf Continuum...Adam Mar, designer, shop owner, and surfer, it'd be a shock to show up to the beach in the morning and not find AM already out there getting a session in before opening up his epic little shop. If you're ever on the east end of Long Island, make sure you make a stop at his place in Montauk and see what a designer on the way up looks like.
Coach Chris and Coach Ev talking about getting pitted! Every surfer dreams about the tube, but what about the first time it ever happened to you? Your favorite surf coaches sit down to chat about theirs. If that doesn't deserve a "YEEEEWW" we don't know what will. Thanks Scott for this episodes inspiration.
This week on KookCast we have Paul Farnham as our guest. Learn a little bit from the man who almost never misses a dawn patrol, (except for a 12 year hiatus), or the second hiatus he took from surfing to battle (and defeat!) cancer. This week's guest is a true warrior, but you can't tell from an outside glance. He's humble, keeps to himself, and paddles out for his daily dose of waves before most have even rolled over to slap the snooze button for the first time of the morning. Enjoy !
You already know this...it's pretty easy to find a reason NOT to go surfing. In this episode, Coach Chris and Coach Evan are covering some common excuses surfers use to pass on a session and hopefully show you why your excuses aren't good enough! Enjoy, yew!
With a passion for surfing and name like "Armstrong", it'd be a shame if this week's guest didn't live up to her name. Fortunately that's not the case at all. If anything you'll finish this episode with a little extra inspiration to endure through hardship and find your own strength. We're going on record, Annie is a power house and we all have a lot to learn from the way she approaches life.
Don't matter if these sound reasonable or out of this world, the following three notions are myths. Thank goodness for KookCast or else you might've gone astray !
We put "Uncle" Ricky in the hot seat this week. Get ready for a ride across all kinds of surf topics because your two hosts and their guest are getting loose and telling truths.
It's an episode of firsts, and this one is all about surfboards. Tune in as Coach Chris and Coach Evan reminisce about their very first surfboard, which leads them to remember other "first" surfboards, like their first custom surfboard, or their first surfboard ever shaped. Enjoy, yew !
Coach Chris and Coach Ev explore a few ways you can get better at surfing without getting in the ocean and actually surfing (which of course is the best way to get better at surfing). Have your own technique, or way of getting better at surfing when you can't get down to the beach? Write in and let us know! Yew!
It's been a long while we've wanted to get this weeks guest on the show, and it finally happened totally unplanned. Heading to our favorite sunset spot, our good friend Cole was already sitting there enjoying the view. We were just sitting there chatting as we mic'd up and figured, why wait for the "right" time to start recording?
