About this ebook
This 20th anniversary edition of Surfer's Code by world champion surfer Shaun Tomson features a new introduction and revised & updated material, sharing stories and insights he's gathered from decades of surfing--with lessons from the world's beaches that translate powerfully to everyday life and extraordinary challenges.
In Surfer's Code, world champion surfer Shaun Tomson shares the life lessons he's gathered from decades of surfing--from his boyhood adventures in South Africa to the world tour in the late 1970s to the business world today. For Tomson, surfing is a hobby, a sport, a religion, an obsession, and more--it is a way of life. Tomson's life lessons have guided his career to the top of both professional competition and the world of business. These lessons are born of the collective wisdom of the surf community and are a powerful source of inspiration in the face of extraordinary challenges of everyday life:
1. I will never turn my back on the ocean
2. I will paddle around the impact zone
3. I will take the drop with commitment
4. I will never fight a rip tide
5. I will paddle back out
6. I will watch out for other surfers
7. There will always be another wave
8. I will always ride into shore
9. I will pass along my stoke
10. I will catch a wave every day
11. All surfers are joined by one ocean
12. I will honor the sport of kings
