Swami's Stylings

Trying out a new lens at Swami's on a fun, semi-textured and cloudy day.

What do you do if your name is Chris Lind, you're the former runner-up (to your punk-ass younger brother) collegiate national surf champion, have a broken leg and want to get your surfing stoke on?  You adapt and use your ITN surfboard as a hand glide to body surf, creating a unique, some would argue semi-retarded but artistic way to still enjoy the surf.

Nice size swell has been hitting our area for the last few days, since Friday January 23, 2015 to be exact.  Shot these without a zoom lens on Sunday overlooking the Encinitas cliffs.

Swami's | June 26 2014 Appreciating the style of others can elevate yours. I like the blurry vision of this shot. The surfer made a great cutback on his single fin btw. This brother could surf...no doubt.  But if I'm out there for over an hour with just boardshorts on, you can afford to lose the gloves & booties.  Unless there's a medical reason... No, I didn't get her name...no name needed to make a connection out on the water. And, I'm not being a perv here, but something magical happens when there are ladies present in the lineup. Classic nose ride by Finn ( checkout his work on a King's SUP board ) ...for a long time too! Hi Ashley...unfortunately the shots of you surfing didn't come out well :(

Wim Hof Method @ Kam's  First group session at my house to implement WHM and cold therapy with four of my fellow Brazilian Jiu Jitsu martial artist brethren ~ Professor Kevin (black belt), Blair (brown belt), Andy (brown belt), John (white belt), and myself (purple belt). We followed the agenda and protocol covered in these slides that I'm posting here to share with everyone in the spirit of shared knowledge and growth for all. We did two rounds of breath therapy followed by one cold immersion. First round of breath work was just to get used to the WHM of breathing but we also tracked time during the exhaled Retention period.  We did two sets of 30-35 breath reps in this first session. The second session consisted of three rounds of 30-40 reps with recorded times during the retention period.  Times in the below table are approximate ~ i.e., not exact!👍 Session Round John Andy Kevin Blair 1 1 1:42 1:57 3:03 1:24 1 2 2:10 2:03 2:29 2:10 2 1 1
