Heyo!!! This is the info page for SurfReady365, my new nutrition and fitness coaching product aimed to get you surfing better faster and for longer. How does this work? Well, it works a lot like my in-water coaching, except that the “delivery” of the coaching is all virtual, which means that you don’t have to wait for there to be good waves or a surf retreat to super charge your surfing practice!!! All you do is go to the same contact info form and tell me that you’re interested in “SR365.” If you want a head start you can just schedule a FREE call using this Calendly link!!!
With SR365 you’ll get custom meal and workout plans and exclusive access to my surf specific exercise and meal database. We will make sure that you feel supported and safe for the entire length of your health journey. Some things you can expect within the first 6 weeks: improved digestion, fat loss, increase in lean body mass, increase in mobility and flexibility, more paddling stamina, more explosive pop ups, faster transition between maneuvers, more strength to carry heavier long boards, more confidence in larger surf, increased productivity at home and at work, increased sense of purpose and focus, and reduced anxiety over whether or not you’re making the right choices as regards your overall well being.
Philosophy is the “love of wisdom,” and some say it’s also the study about what it means to “live a good life.” I agree with both of these definitions. Having a PhD in philosophy means that I am an expert at researching all theories about “what it means to live a good life,” including, but not limited to, scientific research into diet and exercise, which I have done extensively and which I continue to perform. It’s not love of wisdom if you don’t keep up to date with the latest research! I have dedicated the past 20 years into researching all the constituent parts of “the good life,” and can say with authority that a tip top nutrition and fitness program are essential to it. Of course I am interested in particular kind of good life. What is that? Well, the surfing kind of good life of course! This means that I’ve developed fitness routines centered on balance, core strength, and anaerobic stamina, not on building big muscles for flexing at bros and sistahs in the gym. The goal of a surf specific fitness program is to develop a strong, lean, flexible, and agile, muscular body. Surfers perform best at the bottom to mid range of their ideal weight spectrum (less body mass to push up in the pop up).
No fitness routine is complete without nutrition. As they say, “abs are made in the kitchen.” I myself follow a vegan dietary pattern, but it’s not necessary that you become vegan to thrive in SR365. I will, however, suggest that you incorporate more plants and plant protein sources into your current patterns. We will work together to develop a meal plan that suits your goals and your lifestyle.
Here’s what people are saying about the program:
“Can’t say enough good things about surf365. I was stoked to get involved as soon as I found out that Dion was starting this program. His attention to detail is fantastic. I lost weight, got my digestion right, and felt better than I ever have before. I never thought I’d be able to stick to a plant based diet, but with the personalized meal plans, it’s as easy as can be. Also not having the anxiety of figuring out what to eat each day was huge for me. The workouts are challenging yet fun. I’ve seen an improvement in my surfing. I learned a lot about a plant based diet. More importantly, I learned a ton about myself and what works best for me. ”
“In a word: transformational…..and at the same time, there are so many words that come to mind. This is because so much has changed for me in a relatively short period of time.
When I signed up, I took it as an experiment. I had already come to accept my ‘new normal’ of middle age weight gains and years of unpredictable digestion. I was fairly active and tried to eat healthily - though I succumbed to junk food binges. Starting the program, I thought “Let’s see what happens. How fit can I get at this age?”
What ended up happening greatly exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t just that I lost 15lbs (and still counting), gained strength and stamina like I’ve never felt before….but my digestion has vastly improved and I feel great! My energy level is consistent and my relationship to food has changed now that I’m preparing most all my meals, including those I take to work. I haven’t had junk food cravings in 4 months! I’m so much more aware of what I’m eating, how much and when, and yet I eat so well;)
Having the meals and work-outs already programmed by Dion made it simply a matter of following the program, and less stressful to incorporate into what was already a very busy schedule. In fact, it’s helped to create more life-work balance for me. Plus- Dion shares a wealth of insight while walking the walk alongside.
Thank you!”
“SURF READY 365 has made such a noticeable difference in my overall fitness, in and out of the water, AND in a very short amount of time. I just returned from a surf trip to Costa Rica, and felt very strong in my paddling, pop up, and maneuverability on the board. I was able to start focusing more on technique, and noticed that my body had an easier time recovering from 3-6 hours in the water each day.”
