Capra and Luisi (in their book The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision) talk about failing states. The parallels and what to look out for at a national and personal level are surprisingly similar! stormbeach.co.uk/blog/2022/0…
Somewhere in my surfing past this phrase became part of our teenage vocabulary – life’s a beach. I have always been drawn to it, simple but effective. Even if in later years I discovered that it was invented to counter – life’s a bitch! stormbeach.co.uk/blog/2022/0…

If you’ve followed my work you’ll know that I am a big proponent of states versus skills. But as I’ve said before let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater as skills still have their place. Often they are the foundation to one’s state! stormbeach.co.uk/blog/2022/0…

The overall phases of performance often boil down to 4 things – struggle, release, flow and recovery. To boil this down even further you are either winning or learning! stormbeach.co.uk/blog/2022/0…

Another great quote from a Sidetracked Magazine article on big wave surfing! #flow
