Surfer Rituals for a Calm Mind
🧘 Why Surfers Swear by Post-Surf Rituals
For many surfers, riding waves is only half the journey. The other half? The stillness that follows. In this feature, we partnered with two local South Bay surfers—@jarricramos and @jordanramos—to share their personal wind-down routines after a session in the ocean.
From mindful movement to essential oils, these surfer rituals reflect how powerful small daily habits can be for restoring calm, balance, and clarity—both mentally and physically.
Whether you’re a surfer or simply someone craving coastal calm, these rituals are easy to adapt into your own daily rhythm.
🌊 Morning Surf Routines: Finding Flow Before the Day Begins
Jarric and Jordan both start their mornings early—often before sunrise.
“There’s something about paddling out while it’s still quiet,” says Jordan. “The ocean’s calm resets everything.”
Their pre-surf routines are simple but sacred: light stretching, hydration, and a few moments of mental check-in before stepping into the water. It’s not about hype—it’s about grounding.
🌿 Post-Surf Calm Rituals: Body, Breath, and Scents
After time in the water, recovery and relaxation are key.
Here’s what Jarric and Jordan shared:
-
Breathwork or quiet time: “Even just five minutes of deep breathing on the sand helps regulate my energy,” Jarric shares.
-
Stretching + muscle care: Gentle hip and shoulder stretches keep tension away. Some use eucalyptus or lavender oils for muscle relief.
-
Scents that anchor the moment: “I love woodsy scents like sandalwood or cedar,” Jordan notes. “It feels like I’m bringing the ocean back home with me.”
-
Lighting a candle: Creating an evening ritual with a calming scent helps mark the transition from outside to inside.
For surfers, calm is not just a mindset—it’s maintenance. The blend of movement, breath, and intentional rest sets them up for focus, creativity, and presence throughout the day.
