EP 63: Ross Williams - Surfing in 2021 vs the 1990s, Coaching John John Florence, Shooting the Momentum films, Growing up on the North Shore, and Kelly Slater’s retirement

Momentum Generation icon, former Championship Tour competitor, and
commentator-turned-coach Ross Williams talks about the differences
between surfing in 2021 compared to when he was on tour in the
1990s, from the boards to the dream contest locations to the level
of progression. He looks back at growing up on the North Shore,
becoming friends at a young age with Kelly Slater and Shane Dorian,
his gradual transition into becoming a pro surfer, and shooting the
era-defining Momentum films with his peers. He dives into the world
of surf coaching, how he tries to bring out that last 10% that can
create a huge difference, and his work with World Champion John
John Florence, CT competitor Tatiana Weston-Webb, and some
up-and-coming Hawaiian talents. Learn more about your ad choices.
