Riding The Waves
Listen
Veteran, world champion surfer Shaun Tomson—who is on most lists of The Top 10 Greatest Surfers of All Time shares with us his experience on overcoming life’s obstacles drawing on the pain of losing a child and the strengths he acquired becoming a sports leader. Along with co-writer Poet-Philosopher Noah benShea, he employs surfing as a metaphor to analyze 18 “breaking waves” of life, including loss, depression, aging and relationship changes. He also emphasizes the Code Method which stems from his decades of surfing experience and is a simple system to find purpose in everyday life. He's learned to “ride the waves” of daily existence and is eager to share the inspiring power he has gained on his personal path with others looking for ways to live better and get more out of life. Tomson launched The Surfer and the Sage on NBC’s Today Show in a Motivational Monday segment. He is a past board member of Surfrider Foundation and the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club.
