Catching a Wave

Learning to trust the timing, the wave, and the One who set it in motion.

Catching a wave is part science, part surrender. This video breaks down the process into simple steps — from understanding the four stages of a wave to learning where to sit, how to paddle, and when to commit. You’ll practice matching the wave’s speed, staying centered, and keeping your eyes forward as the ocean begins to carry you.

You’ll also pick up key tips and avoid common mistakes, like paddling too late or hesitating just as the moment arrives. The truth is, catching a wave takes patience and practice — and a bit of faith. Just like in life, the moment you trust the process and lean in with confidence, you find yourself lifted, moving in harmony with something far greater than yourself.
