  • Tony Roberts reveals his secrets to continue to still improve his high surfing level every year and the keys to keeping the continued progression and stoke levels firing on all cylinders.
    Most know TR's name for the many films he produced, and photos published on the covers of all the major surf magazines, as well as staff photographer for Quiksilver, O'Neill and many other brands back in the era of a surf industry, however he has dedicated the last 20+ years of his life to surfing, yoga and nutrition and the results are inspiring for anyone interested in performance surfing longevity.

I've recovered from TSR(Total ShoulderReplacement ) and a miniscus knee tear lately. Clawing my way back. I'm trying to get my pop ups back. I can't believe it's back to something usually so intrinsic. IM not giving up!!! Great job you've done.

    Wow, love your dedication!
    Started surfing 50 years ago an eventually got burned out on the crowds and hype.
    One day, 25yag while checking Pipeline on a windy side shore day, this guy came ripping by thru the lineup on a surfboard with a kite an that was it for me.
    Now it’s a SUP an paddle or a shortboard an kite when the wind comes up.
    At the end of the day it’s all good whatever water sports you choose.
    As ya get older, as your demonstrating, just got to make adjustments to your lifestyle to stay stoked.
    I’ll be 67 in October. Also in DR an often ride those same waves in the video afternoons when it gets windy.

    62 years old. 5'5". 128 lbs. I surf a 27L 5'8" epoxy Driver. My first epoxy. Been surfing since I was 14. Saint Lucia is not a surf destination, but when we do get waves, they are epic. So lots of down time. Important to have a daily stretch and cardio routine. 20 minutes. But no exercise prepares you for padding more than padding. So sometimes I just go for a paddle in a flat ocean. Hoping that I have another 15 years in the water. But you are surfing well. Nice cutties.

    I'm a 62yr old grumpy grom. Still working a full time job, because 😢of cost of living on maui. Born and raised here can't think of going any where else. Quit smoking, drinking, work gravyard shifts. So I can surf the mornings. Do all what you doing. Yoga, eat healthy, shortboard, longboard, sup when surf flat. Trying to live the surfers dream. Surfing keeps me young. Need to work on the grumpy part, because of the crowds.

      I feel you. I have a few mantras I say to myself when paddling into waves. One is "crisp takeoff". I repeat that over and over as the wave approaches as it seems if I can get a clean pop up, the rest takes care of itself. When it doesn't my next mantra is "form".

    • @RealSurfStories
      @RealSurfStories  2 месяца назад +1

      This video is about my surfing, and how I attain my level at my age...not my video work. Blood sugar? The nutrients and antioxidants the food I eat provide and protect cells from oxidative damage and inflammation which regulates blood sugar, reduces the risk of developing many chronic diseases, including diabetes as well as promote visceral fat, which improves insulin sensitivity and is rich in soluble fiber which slows glucose absorption and are high in micronutrients especially magnesium, which promotes improved glucose metabolism. I consume complex carbohydrate foods high in fiber and protein, not simple carbohydrates, which keeps my body full longer and regulate blood sugar spikes. I dont eat until a light lunch and have a big early dinner. A variety of whole foods properly combined ensures not only ensures a broader range of nutrients, but also a lower glycemic index and glycemic load. But the true test are the physical results. They speak for themselves.
