The genius of Griffin Colapinto, “Do world champions speak negatively, judge, gossip, complain?”

"We learned how frequency, atoms, molecules, brain waves and energy play a massive role in our universe."

The man described as surfing’s Gandhi and, lately, a disciple of the charismatic faith healer Joe Dispenza, California’s Griffin Colapinto, came within the slimmest margin of forcing eventual world champ Yago Dora into a sudden-death playoff heat yesterday.

It was a deliberate play, Slater-esque in its all complex beauty, that went mostly unreported – Longtom a rare soul who picked up on it – and unmentioned in the highlights package by the WSL.

To recap. Fifty-six seconds on the clock. Griff needs a nine-ish. Yago has priority. Set comes. Griff takes off knowing Yago will be compelled to block. Griff pin drops out of the lip, scoops his board out of the foam, catches the wave behind, surfs with rock-and-cock bravado and, but for a displaced water molecule, only…just…fails to squeeze out of the draining inside tube and, likely, the winning score.

Watch here, all cued up etc.

It was a genius move and confirmation, perhaps, that it was his time with Joe Dispenza that gave him the tools to remain calm in the moment, almost achieve his goal and then, in the aftermath of his loss, accept the result with good humour.

As Griffin Colapinto wrote after a Dispenza retreat,

You are the Source! This past week I had the opportunity to go to a week long @drjoedispenza retreat with a collective of 2,000 human beings who were all there, either to Heal themselves of life threatening diseases and traumas, or just better themselves as people and to live a happier life. On this retreat we ended up meditating a total of 35 hours and all the other time we were being informed on the PURPOSE and SCIENCE behind these meditations. That way when we went into the meditation we had a strong BELIEF and DIRECTION of what we were doing.

I’ll tell you right now. It was one of the best weeks of my life! I’m leaving this retreat with so much love in my heart and an understanding of how POWERFUL us humans Beings actually are. This Practice is changing the world for the better and that is why I’m sharing.

So, when I first showed up I had a thought that I wouldn’t share this on social media, just due to the fact that I thought I could use this Practice to have an edge on my competitors in my Surf Events.

But as the week went on I realized that would be a very limited thing to do and An Unlimited Person does not behave that way. An Unlimited person shares their secrets.

I learned that to Attract the things we want in our life, it takes a clear intention, an open mind, and an open heart.

It’s also important to walk, talk, and act as the person who has already achieved their dreams. So for instance, I wanna be a world champion surfer. I must walk, talk, and act like it. Do world champions speak negatively, judge, gossip, complain? Those are all limited actions.

So to have the awareness to not fall to the limited and stay unlimited is very important. In these meditations is were we strengthen that awareness. We draw the events to us by changing our bad habits and become a new person.

Then the rest is up to life, god, source, the universe, to Attract your clear intention when you least expect it. In a very MAGICAL way!

The thing about this retreat that’s really game changing is the science side of it. We learned all about frequency, atoms, molecules, brain waves, energy etc. and the way they play a massive role in our universe.

Witch is a huge part of why this is changing the world! It doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or Athiest. The science Is what bridges the gap and unites every one of us.

Another mind blowing experience was the Coherence Healing. We witnessed some very surreal moments in this meditation. All I’ll say is if I had an illness, the first thing I would do is go for a coherence healing.

I mean 2,000 people all in the same room with the same intention to heal those before them by sending them their love energy. Cancer, Tumors, Als, blind, loss of hearing, liver disease, depression and much more. We witnessed these healings first hand!

We are all part of a web, each and every one of us is connected to it. A change or healing in just one person affects the web and Change creates new possibilities. Your personality creates your personal reality!

Clearly our world is not in its best state right now. But don’t worry because there’s a higher consciousness emerging! I saw it and felt it.

Etc.

I doubt it’s a coincidence that Kelly Slater, a very successful pro surfer, counts Australian faith-healer Charlie Goldsmith as a close friend. 

Anyone else got Griff for a 2026 crown? Shreds Pipe as good as he hits Abu Dhabi, Peniche, Bells and so on.

And, as a side-note, y’hear that when Volcom resigned their team there were no bonus clauses? Welcome to the cruel new surf industry.
