Who taught you to do this? Nobody. I did Wim Hof breathing on land and I was like, you know, I'll fucking do it. I'll do it fucking on the swim right now. Sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, they have. And most people who die from shallow water blackout are highly trained Navy SEALs because they're very good at inhibiting the urge to breathe, but you can get too good at it. Or you can just not feel it at all.

And you can't dominate the ocean. You have to receive her. And if you have any brittleness in your ego, she will kick your ass until you just blend.

Wave pools have revolutionized surf training. Because for foiling, you have the ocean. And foiling is much more abundant. The surf community is quite scarce in some ways because you can only surf in specific kinds of waves. And if you're trying to make one turn, you might not see that section again for two years. You can't replicate conditions in the ocean.

foiling you can because you can pump a foil you can drive it down let it float back up and drive it down so you can and you can or you can whip yourself behind a jet ski into a certain kind of wave so if I want to work on like a certain turn I can get 40-50 reps in a given day while surfing pre-wave pool you couldn't at all so most great surfers I would

are brilliant low rep learners because by necessity in the ocean you don't get tons of reps so in my observation the greatest competitive surfers in the world are excellent at learning from one or two reps like Marcelo Garcia is on the mats um I'm not naturally a great lower rep learner. I'm a higher rep learner.

Foiling is, one could say it's more technically complex than surfing because everything that surfing is, but also you have a foil which has lift dynamics and a tail and you can change the foil shape, the tail shape. If you change the angle of attack on your tail by a quarter degree, it changes the whole feel of everything. It's super technical. And so many ways one could argue that it's harder

I wouldn't say – not that it's hard. Any of these arts are infinitely deep because you can refine anything forever. But it's more technical shit to deal with, but it's more trainable because you can replicate conditions like you now can in wave pools. Wave pools for surfers now, you can hit the same section 30, 40 times. So I do think it's incredible.
