Why Executive Surfing?

Ask anyone who has tried. Mastering the skills of surfing is just as difficult as business building, and requires the same perspective.

  • Forecasting Anticipation
  • Adapting
  • Managing
  • Change Managing Risk

The expert surfer is both cerebral and intuitive. There are endless parallels between achieving surfing mastery on the ocean and business-building mastery in the corporate world.

#

We have the “learning to surf” process down to a science, and make it fun and exciting.

Your group will gain a unique view of the world through a “surfers vantage point”; one which executives can fine tune and use to expand their vision and elevate their problem-solving skills.

This changed mindset and outlook can enhance and generate an entirely new approach to business challenges.

"Our group can't wait to go back! It was a bonding experience, which helped toward casual team building."

How Does Surfing Change Executive Perspectives?

To surf well demands adapting to, and managing through, controlled and uncontrolled variables such as a wide range of highly dynamic weather conditions that shapes wave formation.

It is the interplay of these conditions with split-second human decision making that drives the possible outcome. In essence, understanding the surf conditions and variables of the day includes wind velocity, wave size, wave force and where to position yourself to catch the right ones is a powerful lesson in effective decision-making.

If you don't use all of the available information to ensure you're making the best choices, then a wipe-out is likely.

#

Can you imagine all of the ideal opportunities that have passed while executive teams’ focus was being scattered in many non-producing areas?

Company executives who are stuck and unbending are those that often make counter-productive decisions based on old or distorted information. Think Blockbuster, Sears, and Toys R Us versus, Uber, Amazon, and Netflix. Companies that are prepared to react to market and economic trends are moving forward while stalled companies continue to spiral downward.

Those who surf learn how to master the uncertainty of the ocean and manage to work with existing, often changing conditions. Finding the natural rhythm of each business situation and working with its own organic movement is bound to be more successful than expecting unrealistic goals to be reached from unchecked, partial information.

The parallels between surfing and business are endless.

“When we started out,I wasn’t sure what to expect. By the end of the day, we were all beaming from the experience. Everyone was cheering one another on. It was almost like a team sport. We wanted everyone to succeed. It was a genuinely thrilling day that none of us will easily forget. I believe there is validity to this experience that changed and expanded our visions. It’s given us additional confidence to know we can handle anything.”
