Alastair Thompson, author of “A Surfer’s Guide to Enlightenment: Insights From the Ocean on Life, Love and Happiness,” joins the pod live-to-tape from the South Coast of Brazil. Available on Amazon here.
“A book about life, loss, love, and happiness, A Surfer’s Guide to Enlightenment calls us to immerse ourselves in the ocean and learn from her waves and currents. Drawing from his thirty years of experience as a surfer, the author shares insights from the ocean that resonate with all nature lovers. Short, punchy chapters use the ocean as a metaphor to provide powerful insights into personal growth, mindfulness, and enlightenment.
The book explores themes like acceptance, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection. It encourages readers to embrace life as it comes. The author uses vivid storytelling and relatable anecdotes to draw parallels between the challenges we face while surfing and the challenges we face in everyday life, then highlights how these experiences lead to greater self-awareness and, eventually, fulfillment. Each chapter invites readers to reflect on their own journey and discover their own, personal path to enlightenment.”

The podcast limps! In accord with our luke-warm quest to provide pod content, we continue to exploit surf friends, old and new. James Boobeedoo Jenkins is the latter. 2025 LFG.

Timber Surf Co’s Ryan Lynch joins me for a post-surf pod direct from my trusty ’13 Pilot. I got one small wave, blew a take off, and then got caught up on some rocks, fyi.
Ryan’s eco friendly, high performance boards can be viewed at timbersurfco.com and @timbersurfco.
Outro music provided by the Mad Scientist, Patrick Luttrell, @luttrellp_madscientist. Patrick’s music can be found on Spotify here and Apple here.

Hey Jeff, Love the show. I'm 26 now and only started surfing when I was 23. When you talk about getting worked on the inside, or ask your guests about their most recent kook moments it's great to hear that it happens to everyone! keep it up! Ren
