For anyone that appreciates a great surfing podcast, I’d say Michael Frampton’s Surf Mastery podcast is a must subscribe. It’s a podcast that provides listeners with insightful methods to enhance and develop their surfing, making it a functional part of improving rather than just hearing a couple guys talk about how much they like waves.
Michael’s interviewing approach allows each episodes guest to share their expert wealth of knowledge in succinct nuggets of surf related wisdom. He researches his topics and guests extensively before each interview, making discussions seamless, thought-provoking, and enjoyable. Uniquely qualified to be leading voice in performance surfing, Michael currently trains surfers one on one in and around the Northern Beaches of Sydney, where he specializes in surf-specific training focused on strength and conditioning for the movements of surfing. As a surf coach, Michael also uses video analysis, performance neurology, and skateboarding to fast track motor-learning and refine surfing technique.
Episode 005 with Matt Scorringe was my personal favorite. The author of “The Art of Surfing” waxes poetic on building a solid foundation of fundamentals for a sound surfing approach. He then adds some finer points for improvement from his extensive surf coaching and instruction background.
