How to Use Your Journal

Your journal combines surf reporting with personal reflection to deepen your connection to surfing and yourself. Here's how to make the most of it:

Daily Life Reflections

Use the freestyle pages to capture thoughts, dreams, and daily insights. This practice helps process emotions, enhance self-awareness, and document your personal journey.
Surf Sessions

Record conditions, board choice, and performance to identify patterns for improvement. Note your emotional experience too - surfing creates powerful feelings that benefit from reflection.
Monthly Review

Review your entries to spot connections between your mental state and surf performance. Set intentions for continued growth both in and out of the water.
