Riding the Wave: How Surfing Taught Me to Master Business Systems
Jul 17, 2025
After more than a decade of wipeouts—literally and figuratively—I finally caught four or five “perfect” waves in ten days.
Years of early mornings, bruises, and failed takeoffs led to that moment when speed, balance, and timing aligned.
Suddenly, the ocean’s chaos felt like a choreographed dance: everything clicked, stress vanished, and it was just me and the wave.
If you are a surfer, you know the experience.
Its a powerful lesson for anyone wrestling with clunky business processes.
- Endless effort with minimal progress.
- Missed deadlines despite working late.
- Repetitive mistakes draining your team.
- Constant firefighting instead of forward momentum.
Sound familiar?
Just like surfing, building efficient business systems can feel impossible at first.
You fight the current, get smashed by one challenge after another, and wonder if it’s ever going to “click.”
Finding the Rhythm
On the waves, success came when I stopped resisting the ocean and learned its natural flow.
In business, the same principle applies: stop battling manual processes, bottlenecks, and information silos. Instead, align your operations using a consistent board design.
Unlike traditional project management and Process software that disconnect what you do and what that work produces... The MagicBoard design keeps them together.
It becomes obvious what needs to be done in order to get the results you want.
And you can easily capture what works and improve them over time.
You also can see everything going on in your business from your strategic dashboard.
Your teams hit the deadlines, deliver consistent quality, and you get home on time with cash in tthe bank.
