Episode 4: Ex-U.S. Spearfishing Champion WAYDE
What Spearfishing Taught Me About Smooth SUP Surfing

In this episode, we step away from the idea of “pro performance” and explore something deeper — ocean awareness and smooth flow.

WAYDE is not a professional surfer, but a highly experienced waterman and former U.S. Spearfishing Champion.
Years spent underwater have shaped a unique mindset — one built on calmness, patience, and reading the ocean rather than forcing it.

In this session, he shares how spearfishing has influenced his SUP surfing:
less effort, better timing, and smoother lines.

This is not about pushing harder —
it’s about understanding more.
