BODYSURFING, A WAY TO HARNESS OCEAN’S WISDOM
Bodysurfing has Hawaiian origins and is historically practiced by sea legends. This sport integrates performance and health through the connection with the waves and can be used as preparatory training for surfers, swimmers, executives, entrepreneurs and all people who are looking for an incredible practice to maintain mental and emotional health. Flowing with the currents, letting go of heavy burdens, understanding and maintaining a state of presence are a few of the things that the ocean teaches and that we can bring into our everyday lives. A way to dance with the challenges and surf every opportunity that life presents.
Are you ready to be transformed by the waves?
METHODOLOGY
Based on the principles of phenomenology science, sound healing and guided meditation we will go through different phases in water in order to reflect them in life (Method since 2012):
| In Water | In Life |
|---|---|
| To perceive, respect & deal with the physical force of the ocean and the limitation of the human body. To enter, stay and exit water peacefully and safely. |
Explore your internal potentials, drives, vocations, fears, beliefs & limitations. How to recognize my potential? How to overcome my fears? |
| To perceive, respect & deal with the energy of the wave. Learn how to flow on the wave’s wall, with minimum effort and best results. |
Explore your individual talents, passions and values, observing work & life. What do I already do very well? What makes my eyes shine? |
| To transform the energy of the wave into other forms of energy; such as diverse and intuitive air maneuvers. |
Explore personal dreams, paths and creative skills. Where does the world need my unique contribution? |
| Improvement of the individual original style, transforming your surfing into an artistic & meditative activity. | To be awaken and choose your original and meaningful path for the future. What is my purpose? How can I create my own lifestyle? |

Uriel – Ocean Film-Maker
Uriel started surfing in the French Basque country where he was born 33 years ago. Traveling with the bare minimum to stay stoked (a camera, surfboard, and yoga mat), he has spent the past 7 years “chasing waves and light” in Indonesia. His mission is to protect the Oceans and encourage conscious behaviors on our planet through creativity and art. He designs surfing journeys for every surfer, from beginner to advanced, the way he knows it best: around pure spots in beautiful nature, weaving the practice of surfing with his passion for self-connection, meditation, and yoga. And, when waves are pumping, he will be swimming out there with his camera, making sure to get the shots. Uriel has also started a new surf documentary series called Surfers Dharma, featuring water people and surfers who are committed to sharing their gifts with the World by living their purpose.
