The Secrets of the Surfer’s Code: 12 Simple Lessons for Riding Through Life.

Catch a wave with me and learn about 12 simple lessons that will change your thinking and teach you how to successfully ride through life. My hour-long multi-media presentation can be tailored to a specific event or audience while always remaining true to its core goals: personal transformation through a renewed positive attitude and an enlightened awareness of our place in the world.

Customized Surf Sessions

Nothing brings home the inspiration and wisdom of the Surfer's Code more than a paddle out or an afternoon "expression session". Imagine hitting the links with Tiger Woods or having Michael Jordan as your hoops coach, and you'll know what we mean: It doesn't get any better than this. Should your conference or corporate retreat occur in a coastal location, Shaun would be happy to "share the stoke" of an exclusive surf session or private instruction to complement his presentation. Contact your BigSpeak representative for details.

The Surfers Code

Shaun Tomson has given lectures on his Surfer's Code, and has passed out small plastic cards with this code printed on one side and an endorsement for his clothing line on the other.

The code is as follows:

I will never turn my back on the ocean

I will always paddle back out

I will take the drop with commitment

I will know that there will always be another wave

I will realize that all surfers are joined by one ocean

I will paddle around the impact zone

I will never fight a rip tide

I will watch out for other surfers after a big set

I will pass on my stoke to a non-surfer

I will ride, and not paddle in to shore

I will catch a wave every day, even in my mind

I will honor the sport of kings
