Pursue your goals and dreams and inspire others to reach their highest heights.
I started vlogging back in 2018 while trying to navigate daily life, work, and trying to pursue my dream of learning to surf.
I started to document my ups and downs (anxiety/depression) in the hope that it would inspire others to work towards the things they want to achieve in life, no matter how big or small.
I had no idea how to film, edit, or talk to a camera before starting this (😂I still don't). I'm forever learning.
My biggest achievement so far has been...
Not Giving Up!!!

Just Cos It's Friday...
The sun was out (well kind of), the Hawaiian shirt was on and the vibes were busy ones. Work was a little bit manic for a Friday. Although, due to it being so busy the time flew. Once home there was no rest. Just because it was Friday didn't mean I wasn't going to get a workout in. Then it was on to a little planning.

Good Spirits Again!!
Переглядів 444 години тому
Good Spirits Again!! Yet again another day in the factory of dreams but still the spirits where high. The main factor was tuning into more @ombesurf LIVEs. There really is so much to learn about surfing and the OMBE surf channel seems to do a fantastic job in putting the information in a way that it sinks in. My next task is to try and focus on one or two things the next time I have the opportu...

Fully Fired Up!!! Funny how today I was in a good place mentally, and the overall vibe was high but it was only the place that was to my choosing. I suppose that's just the way it is sometimes. My highlight of the day was having one of my colleagues say that I was to happy. Oh, and finding the foot for my tripod. Sometimes it's the simple things that take you up another level in mindset.

They Needed Doing!! After having what I thought was a spray can making noise in the boot on the way home from Bristol last weekend, I found out during the week that in fact it was the rear brake pads making the noise. Andrea had ordered the pads during the week and now it was my job to fit them. I'm glad I done them now as they really needed doing. After having a little bit of a struggle (due t...

Doing Other Stuff! I can't believe Friday's here again. It feels like away minute ago I was getting ready to go to the Wave for the weekend. Now, I'm putting the stuff away. I had a few things to sort out, today. One of which was to go pick up brake pads for Andrea's Civic. I would have shown you more of that but the camera decided to overheat. It sure is hot... Nice!

Work Really Well Or... It's days like today where the day job kind of sucks... The sun was out the energy was high, however I had to work. I did make the most of it at lunchtime but already my focus was shifting onto surfing.

Ding Dong!! I finally tried that other route today on the surfskate and it didn't really do what I hoped it would do. Still, it was nice to change things up and it gave me the chance to check on the graffiti spots again. It also gave me the opportunity to voice something around the surfskate/surf training aspect of things. If you'd like to buy me a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/30YEAROLDGROM or G...

There's A Good Lesson!! Today my mind was set on improvements. In particular how to keep improving on my limited surf skills while being 100 miles away from the sea. This brings me to ask the question can a surfskate really build good habits that can transfer across to surfing. Also can this work when the person is trying to learn the basics or is it more a case that it can improve someone's sk...
Get The Pump On!!!

Get The Pump On!!! So, it was back to work we go. The upside was that the legendary Coffee Guy was back!!! NICE! The weather didn't look great but it did hold off long enough for me to get a lunchtime skate in. Which got me to thinking... While at the Wave I noticed tones of people using surfskates. However, very few where pumping it or using it like a surf training vibe. I see so many wigglers...

It's always nice when a road closes down and there absolute sweet FA eveidance of anything done. Flux Capacitor being made? 🙏💚🙏
🤣😂😜 You know it bro! It's been a nightmare around with the HS2 work going on. That roads going to be closed for 2 weeks in August. That's going to make getting to and from work fun.
Damn! The views are on the rise! Ya camera gear good? With that water leak. Love the art matey. I think even if I let the car just roll, it would reach 12mph haha Banger!!!
It's crazy how some videos just shoot up. Yeah, I was real lucky. The water only dripped into the lid of the bag. It's where I keep cables so no drama. It could have been so much worse. 🤜🤛
151 views...KEEP GOING!! OI OI Tori! Rich! Hope ya well. Whats the different colored shirts? Levels? ❤
It was an epic day!!! The shirts are for different levels also change between being lesson or session. 🤙
107 views..nice one. Ya views are rising matey. Love the vid if the live matey. Banager!
I had a few videos that hit some crazy numbers. It all seemed to happen in a few days. 🙌🙌🙌
The old currant bun was hot, so I ere. Feild full of medicine in them thistles. Near lost that in the lug matey haha 🙏🙏
Those blooming earphones have been doing that for some time. One of these days I'm not going to have tweezers to hand. It's been a funny old season for weather. It still doesn't feel like summer. 🤜🤛
Nice psyco movie sound in background at work..haha Oi oi dodgy looking tool. FATBUDDHA??? ya call? 🤪
🤣😂😜🤙LOL!
Steel meat balls...well nice 🤪 Dig the art matey Im waiying for that band to snap and take a old chap off. I had one snap once and puched meself in the jaw. Technically spent 9 spons on junk not 10, Grom....banger ❤
It's always in the back of my mind. I'm always checking the bands before and after use. Thanks bro🤙.
Oi oi Gromsta! Never thought I'd be doing what I do. Went from Chef, lawn cutting, pest control to now what I love. Never even see it coming. If ya said this is what I'm gonna be doing, I'd of laughed at ya...keep searching...❤❤
I'm determined to work on getting into that position. I just need to get some idea of what area I want to make that step into. I'm glad you found what you did, by just moving with what happened at the time. I'm hoping that this is the case for me but I don't want to leave everything up to chance. I'd like to think I have some control over my future. 🤙🤜🤛
Dry robe and crocs = beginner, Dry robe and flip flops = intermidiate
@richslade2903 Legend!!!🤣🤣🤣🤙 is expert Dry Robe and bare feet??
@@30yearoldgrom 😆 🤣 yeah only the experts can deal with the stone bruises to the feet 😆
Interesting question: Beginner/intermediate. Something I’ve been looking at recently. Turns out there’s a bridging level! Advanced beginner 🤣🤣 To me. Beginner is riding towards shore in white water, intermediate is trimming in a wave and performing basic manoeuvres. Such as cutbacks and top turns. And advanced beginner would be somewhere in the middle. So riding green waves and trimming but not necessarily having grasped how to turn a board! 🤙🏼
Ps. The minibus got me! 🤣🤣 proper killed the vibe haha!
@@Viking-Surfer they even through a shaka 🤙
@Viking-Surfer I'm pretty much claiming this as where I would place things. I'd say if you are riding the rail, performing turns and general manoeuvres, then you're on intermediate level. See, for me, I think anything up to that is still beginner. If you're trimming and going straight or even down the line without paying any attention to where you are in regards to the most powerful part of the wave. Also, I think to some degree, if you haven't advanced to a hardboard and then chosen to ride a foamy (for giggles), you still really haven't stepped into the real world of surfing. I like this idea of the advanced beginner 💯🤙 I'm claiming I'm semi beginner 🤣🤙
Get it! Only tips I have are keep your head up arch your back, keep your legs together and control your board with your hips as you paddle. Don’t lay flat. Later Grom🤙
@EverydaySurfer365 most definitely! I've been keeping legs up, feet crossed and trying to do my best to keep the erect banana pose. 🤙
@@30yearoldgrom cool man 🤙
@@EverydaySurfer365 I sure have got to try and strengthen those lower back muscles along with work on lower back flexibility. 🤙🙌
@@30yearoldgrom be nice if you could find a swimming pool to workout in. I used to tie my leash off to a rock and paddle in place for a half hour each day. Keep it up 🤙
Andrea made me laugh! 'Should of tracked ya around longer" haha The "movie" bit!? That took some work in the edit. "The Buuudha" hahaha love it! The tiki head looks like one brother Billy sent me. Ya get film of storms here matey . Banger
Got to have a Sunday Buddha session. I can't believe I've been busy for the last two. You'd be surprised of how quick you can cut that kind of edit. I'll show ya when I'm there. It would be awesome to have a FL storm roll in. Cheers bro! 🤜🤛 You been putting out some pretty epic videos yourself. 🙌🙌🙌
@30yearoldgrom Thanks bruv! 💚
vehicle maintenance in the air was oil and filters for me this past weekend. You should have hit me up I would’ve lent you my piston tool 😂
😂🤣🤙 Legend!!! I have one it's just missing the adaptor for the rear wind back ones. I really need to pick a new one up. Ya gotta love some home grown mechanics!!🙌🙌🙌
digging that structured surf workout.
Lol, far from structured but it ain't bad for a makeshift set up. I just hope it helps improve the fitness. I'm looking forward to getting back in the water and seeing the outcome. 💪🤙
Gotta pay to fly? Pop ups look sharper matey. Cool eating gaff matey. WOW!!!!! Goose bumos on the music matey. Absolute BANGER! Brother. 🙏💚🙏💚🙏
Yeah, got a pay an annual fee to be registered with the CAA. Thanks bro! It was an awesome night. I can big up the London Film Music Orchestra enough. They are amazing!!!🤙
You shave fast...yeah, slept meself today...haha 🙏🙏
😂😂😂 If only it was that quick to shave. Sleep is a good thing from time to time. 🤜🤛
That surf clothing shop looked amazing, dont let me loose in there 😂
It's pretty epic but at the same time pretty pricey! I was going to buy some new boardies but the prices on them are too gnarly for me. 🤙
The donut from a nice fat cap tho.. 🍩🤌
Lol, ya gotta love it!! I'm still trying t get my head around getting the most out of each cap. 🤙
Good job Grom!! Not easy!!
@TheCornLifeNetwork Duuuuude, those rear callipers were a nightmare. Would have been super easy if I'd had the correct tool, but we got it done in the end. 🙌🤙
Graffiti looking nice bro! Pat yourself on the back!
Appreciate you saying this bro. There are a few things that ain't to my standards but learnt a whole lot and enjoyed doing it. I'm just stoked that VanLIfeWanda likes it. 🏆🏆🏆🤙 There's going to be more work done on this in the future. 💪

Thanks bro!!! I'm looking forward to trying a few more things like this. 🤙
✅ no stickers or freebies I say order elsewhere next time
100% FACTS!!! 😂😜🤣 You know it's the simple things. I dropped a fair few pennies with them and not even a little somethin, something. I tend to find this with the bigger companies.
✅ we will be talking about this one soon! The million dollar question for sure
We just need to form the plan and execute! It might be 6 months, 18 months or even 5 years... All I know is that we got to strive to exit this daily grind for the man. I know we can do it!!!💪🙌🤙
Oh ya ✅

Thanks Dan! I've been trying to put a little extra time in. It's been a good vibe to sit at lunch and just get into the letters. 🤜🍍🤛
Been a while since I went in to a catch up this far back, let’s go!
Yewwww!!!! No worries bro, I know you are always on the mission so no stress. The vlogs are here whenever you have time. 🤙🙌🙌🙌🙌
It’s all about the epic fails 😂. Always an awesome time at the wave, next stop the beach….
@vanlifewanda6290 doing pro level surfing is overrated 🤣🤙 Every time I fall from a pop-up, I'm getting fully pitted👌🤪. To the sea!!!!!
Great vlog dude! Until the next sesh! Yewww 🤙🏼
Truly epic day!!!! I'm so looking forward to getting some wild waves with you guys! 🙌🙌🙌
Going full Jocko !! All time stoke levels went crazy
@illwillofficial4929 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dude, the day, the vibe, and the squad were next level. 🙌🙌🙌 Getting hooked and dragged under water by someone else's leash was the epic! I'm sure that's not meant to be the takeaway from the session, but dude, it was crazy🤣🤙
Epic day 🔥 🌊 #thegromsquad
Wasn't it just!!! I'm already trying to figure out the when and the how 😂🤣. It's only Tuesday and I need another fix! 😜🤙
Ben Gravy dropping in on the Grom Squad last night. EPIC...
I know, right!!!! Stoked was an understatement. 😜🤜🤛🍍🤙
Enjoy the waves dude
Thanks bro!!! I hope you're good.🤙🙌🙌🙌 Hope to see you soon.
Nothing quite like some new paint 😃
@@illwillofficial4929 Right on! It sure could become a new addiction. 🤣🤙
See these in Oxford a couple of months ago. Unbelievable isn’t it so uplifting! 👍
@justapanelbeater it really was! I wasn't sure to expect, but it was an awesome show. I would love to see them do more music soundtrack pieces. 🙌🤙
How are you feeling since you’ve been working out? Can definitely see some progress in muscle it’ll be super evident when you surf
@illwillofficial4929 it's only been a week or so, but mentally, I feel better for working out. I always feel like I need to go harder to really feel those gains💪😂. Surfing at the weekend will be interesting. Then I'll get a better sense of if it's paying off. 🤞🤙
I felt that mild exaggerated look of disparity 🌧️🚗✍️🤣
@illwillofficial4929 What you saying, that's my normal look😂😂😂😂🙌🤙
You need to be very careful about the terminology you use. My exit strategy is planned and permanent. I just haven't got that low yet 🤷🏼♂️ And I know that's not what you meant but that's what sprung to mind.
I know what you're saying. I suppose it all comes down to context and mindset. Formulating an exit strategy from the daily grind of a job that gives no satisfaction or sense of accomplishment.
Gotta love a plant sale!
Lol, Andrea sure does!!!
Its a thought destroying, anti social device. Bloody things are a nightmare! Got ya I.D? Hahaha In the hood? Hahaha Just write corupt wankers on ya polling card. Tracy won on a scratch off other day. Yeah, not life changing. Couple bucks...BANGER!!
🤣🤣🤣. That should be enough to class as a NO VOTE😂🤣💪. This weeks plan has been to stay off the mobile as much as possible. Unless it's a real reason, no mindless scrolling. NICE!!! A couple of bucks is still a win! 🤜🤛
Banging start. Ya will still be in summer when ya get ere haha. Digging 5he art as always brother. Been trying to get me eldest to do me a Cockney Buddha charicture...yeah....Anyway. I'll take 300 crimped wires please...gotta be snore for ya. Keep going Grom. If ya not authentic then not worth doing it...much love brother 🙏💚🙏
100%!!! It's all about being authentic. This UK summer seems to be all over the shop. Maybe we'll get a savage August🤷♂️. Dude, give it a go yourself. Have a play around and see what happens. Even if you don't use it, it's still fun. 🤙
In 2022 before Christmas I've been to Royal Albert Hall on Classic FM Live. Basically the same theme. It was absolutely stunning. I can highly recommend. It must be experienced at least once in a life time.
I bet that was awesome!!! These guys are off to St Paul's Cathedral on Oct1st and I'm gutted as I won't be in the country. I'd love to see them again in a bigger venue. 🙌🙌🙌
That was cool Grom, hi Andrea
Dude, it was an amazing show. I know they are travelling this show around Europe, if they bring it state side get on it. I could have recorded the whole show. 😜😂🤣🤙
