Welcome to surf progress hell!

You paddle out feeling hopeful… and paddle back in feeling like you've never surfed a day in your life. No progress. No plateau. Just pure regression. Sound familiar? In this episode, we unpack those frustrating sessions that leave you questioning everything. We're talking about the science behind skill regression, learning plateaus, and why your brain might temporarily ditch skills you've already mastered when you're trying to learn something new. From the power law of practice to cognitive overload, we explore what's really going on when your surf progression feels more like a scribble than a straight line. Plus, we share tips for how to make your practice more deliberate—and what to do when all else fails (spoiler: 🍦)
