Think of the ocean and its ever changing elements, such as weather, tides, and waves. The conditions are constantly shifting and can seem totally unpredictable to the untrained eye.
The ability to understand, predict and navigate through such dynamic conditions is a quality that is inherent in surfers and translates seamlessly into creating successful and memorable events.
Here are some reasons why surfers thrive as event planners:
- Creativity: Surfers are known for their creative and adventurous spirit.
- Stress management: Dealing with unpredictable weather conditions, waiting for the right waves, and overcoming wipeouts requires a great deal of patience and resistance. Surfers know how to go with the flow and stay calm under pressure.
- Flexibility and Adaptability: When a surfer is on the water, they are constantly moving with the ocean and know how to adapt and adjust their plans accordingly.
- Attention to Detail: Surfing requires meticulous attention to ocean conditions and safety. It’s considered a pretty dangerous spot.
- Autonomy: Surfing is a single-(wo)man’s sport.
- Aesthetic and Design Sense: Surfers have an appreciation for aesthetics, from the beauty of the waves to the art of surfboard design.
Now imagine how beneficial these qualities are when planning and producing an event…
- Wouldn’t you like your event planner to come up with innovative ideas, think outside the box, and create a memorable experience for attendees?
- Don’t you want someone who can handle stress effectively, especially with an expensive investment?
- How about someone who can handle unexpected changes with ease, can save the day and keep the event running smoothly?
- And will pay attention to all of the tiny – and very important – details?
- Who will infuse their creativity in design and décor to enhance the event’s atmosphere and ambiance?
Are these not the perfect qualities to create and produce an impeccable event that elevates the overall experience for attendees?
