## Description

Surfing requires constant shifts in focus. You might need to concentrate on your physical movements one second and scan the horizon for the next. This MCP helps you manage those transitions so you don't lose your flow. You can use your AI client to build specific mental exercises that strengthen your ability to stay present. If you find yourself distracted by a crowd or a heavy swell, you can quickly generate mental triggers to pull your attention back to the wave. The system also lets you check if your current mental state is actually ready for the difficulty of the waves you are targeting. Instead of guessing if you are prepared, you can build structured practice protocols that combine specific drills and cues into timed sessions. This turns mental training from a vague idea into a repeatable part of your surf prep.

**Prompt:**

I want to improve my barrel riding. My current focus level is 70. Give me some drills for external focus.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here are your external focus drills for barrel riding: 1. Wave Face Scanning (5 mins) - Observe the lip movement. 2. Horizon Stabilization (5 mins) - Keep eyes fixed on the distant swell.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I'm feeling distracted by the crowd in the water. Help me with a cue.
```

**Response:** 
```
To counter environmental distractions, use this external cue: 'Watch the lip'.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is my focus level of 50 enough for a goal complexity of 8?
```

No, your readiness score is low. We recommend increasing your focus drills or lowering the goal complexity to manage the high risk level.
