What is The Board Meeting?

The Board Meeting is an invite-only community that uses surfing as a platform to connect like-minded entrepreneurs and creatives to advance our collective happiness and professional success.

Our Story

The Board Meeting started as a ritual between four new friends in Brooklyn, NY. The guys would hop the A-train from Broadway Junction to their “local break,” the 67th St. entrance at Far Rockaway. (yes, surfing in Queens) In addition to their shared love for their time in the water, the group began to realize that the 1 hour train ride was becoming an equally valuable and effective way to connect with one another, discuss their struggles and receive feedback on the important things going on in their life…The Board Meeting was born. We created the Board Meeting to unite a community of heart driven creators and to make this kind of structured support more accessible to the people that can benefit from it.

Our Values

The values do not dictate how people should act, they are merely a representation of the ethos and culture that has developed since our inception.

Connect

Figure out what makes you feel connected and communicate with the intent of creating deeper relationships that are firmer and more lasting.

Support

The most fulfilling thing we can do as humans is help one another. You will never regret the time you spend focusing on how you can help others.

Be Supported

Allowing ourselves to be supported takes courage and is one of the smartest things we can do to grow as individuals and a community.

Stories, not Advice

Lead with empathy. Don’t tell people how to live their lives, share your personal lessons, revelations and insight that relate to their experience or situation.

Authenticity

Vulnerability is courage. Spend time figuring out who you are and do everything you can to let that person be seen.

Challenge

Live life on your edge and hold others accountable for living on theirs.

Why Surfing?

Sharing unique experiences is one of the quickest ways to connect with someone. We love surfing for a few reasons...

Connectivity

Being drenched in a massive body of water is a great way to establish a deep sense of connectivity with the universe.

Mastery

It feels good to get better at something that you care about. 

Physicality

Surfing is an intense workout that is fun to do. Every second in the water is time spent improving your health and body.

Flow

“The absence of self.” Surfing is one the most consuming activities, it makes it easy to forget everything else, and be present.
