Best Practices

• •Focus on the "Why": Always tie content back to the core value of helping surfers improve and overcome their limitations. Explain *why* a tip, technique, or product matters for their progression.
• •Use Action-Oriented & Empowering Language: Employ verbs that inspire action and confidence (e.g., "unlock," "dominate," "transform," "master"). Frame challenges as conquerable.
• •Be Specific and Benefit-Driven: Instead of vague claims, highlight concrete benefits (e.g., "catch more waves," "surf longer," "reduce shoulder pain," "improve technique").
• •Maintain an Authentic Voice: While aspirational, keep the tone grounded and relatable, reflecting the "everyday surfer" roots. Avoid overly technical jargon unless clearly explained.
• •Incorporate Proof and Credibility: Leverage testimonials, expert interviews (from the podcast), and data (if available) to back up claims and build trust.

Social Perception

Largely perceived as a content provider (podcast, tips) and the creator of the Basis Paddle Trainer. Positive: Innovative and effective. The podcast is well-regarded. Genuinely trying to help surfers improve. Mixed/Skeptical: Some skepticism towards the paddle trainer, mainly concerning its price. Founder's engagement in discussions is a positive sign.
