Ever wondered what it’s like to be a young-adult professional surfer?

Before the weight of a spouse, child, or mortgage weighs on your day-to-day, all you have to think about is where the waves are best and perhaps who you’ll canoodle with in the moonlight hours – it is the most glorious time in any person’s life!

Often taken for granted, but always remembered with a smile.

Griffin Colapinto just released a “Day in the Life” style video with his fitness sponsor You Theory. In it Griffin surfs, trains, makes a delicious smoothie and surfs again.

While not especially compelling, the fitness portion lends some useful info to the air-minded viewer. If Griffin’s workouts are any indication, it’s all about staying low and centered, landing with a wide, stable stance, and absorbing the impact with our knees. 

Not exactly revolutionary intel, but a good thing to keep in mind when you’re eying off a ramp.

If for nothing else, hit play to see the ever-impressive surfing of young Griff, who would make Mickey Mouse seem like an old curmudgeon.
