Surfing Saves with John Angiulo

Our guest for this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast is John Angiulo — a professional surfer, surf educator, author, filmmaker, and one of Montauk’s most thoughtful voices exploring the deeper meaning of surfing and wave culture. John grew up immersed in the roots of East Coast surfing. His father, Kenny Angiulo, was considered one of New York’s standout surfers during the golden era of East Coast surf culture, often mentioned alongside legends like Ricky Rasmussen. His uncle, Michael “Mick” Angiulo, played a major role in helping legalize and expand surf access throughout New York State beaches through his groundbreaking work with the Eastern Surfing Association.<br /><br />John began surfing at just five years old at Ditch Plains, and over the past three decades has taught thousands of people to surf in places like Montauk, Indonesia, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico.But this conversation goes far beyond surfing technique. Through projects like A Word on Waves and the Surfing Saves Project, John explores the idea that surfing is more than a sport — it’s a framework for understanding life, community, energy, and our relationship with the natural world.We dive into Montauk surf history, the battle for beach access, surf instruction, lineup culture, spirituality, quantum theory, wave consciousness, and how surfing can become a tool for personal and communal regeneration.<br /><br />We also discuss John’s monthly “Paddle Outs to Peace,” designed to promote collective coherence and connection through the ocean.This is a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about surfing, philosophy, community, and the power of waves — both in the ocean and in life. We hope you enjoy…<br /><br />Follow John on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_surfingsaves_/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@_surfingsaves_ </a>You can find his books at <a href="http://www.surfingsaves.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.surfingsaves.com</a> <br /><br />The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. <br />For more information, you can follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/swellseasonsurfradio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@swellseasonsurfradio</a> on Instagram or go to our website: <a href="https://www.swellseasonsurf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.swellseasonsurf.com</a> <br /><br />Music: <br />Artist: Cornell Campbell<br />Song: Lost in a Dream<br />Album: The Very Best<br /><br />00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro<br />09:26 Epic Session and Lineage<br />11:52 Angelo Family Roots<br />14:10 First Wave and Lifelong Stoke<br />15:57 Babylon Montauk Split<br />17:20 Boards and Early Mentors<br />18:58 Competition and Anger<br />20:11 Surfing vs School Freedom<br />24:25 Spiritual Shift and Waves<br />29:14 Mom Prayer and Quantum<br />32:17 Maharishi Effect Explained<br />34:41 Paddle Outs to Peace<br />36:46 Community and Connection<br />40:41 Surf Lessons Origin Story<br />41:59 Launching The Family Surf School<br />43:49 Mentors And Montauk Legends<br />46:13 Surfing And Writing Path<br />49:27 Teaching Beyond Technique<br />53:12 Surfing Saves Explained<br />56:58 Waves As Life Metaphor<br />59:49 Lineup Culture And Dark Side<br />01:08:27 Havens Nine Wave Model<br />01:13:55 Research Behind The Framework<br />01:15:45 AI Tools Validate Ideas<br />01:17:09 Nine Dimensions Made Practical<br />01:18:37 Protocols for Daily Coherence<br />01:21:00 Film Grants and Eclipse Story<br />01:23:31 Interview Subjects and Partners<br />01:26:56 Governance Model Against Corruption<br />01:30:03 Community Over Extraction<br />01:32:04 Future Paddle Outs Expansion<br />01:33:32 Surfer Questionnaire Fun<br />01:39:11 Heaven Wave and Final Plugs<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a...
