Episode 116 - Prostate Cancer & Patting the Shark with Tim Baker
Tim Baker was living the dream. A best-selling and award-winning surf writer with a beautiful family, a lifetime of exotic travel and a home walking distance to quality waves. That all changed on July 7, 2015, when he was diagnosed, out of the blue, with stage 4, metastatic prostate cancer. So began a descent into the debilitating world of aggressive cancer treatments and Tim’s ongoing relationship with cancer that began as a fight for a survival as brutal as any big wave hold down, that evolved into an inspiring mindset (inspired by his good mate former world surfing champion, Mick Fanning) of cancer collaboration, appreciation and “patting the cancer as opposed to punching/battling the cancer” - *see Mick Fanning at Jefferies Bay, South Africa with his shark encounter in 2015 where Mick famously punched a shark to defend himself.
In this candid conversation with Joint Dynamics Podcast curator & host Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics, Tim opens up about his journey—from the initial diagnosis to the transformative experiences that followed. He shares not only the physical hurdles but also the emotional resilience required to navigate this life-changing event.
Through his engaging storytelling, Tim connects his love for surfing with the lessons learned during his health journey, reminding us all of the beauty and fragility of life. Whether you’re a surfer, a health advocate, or someone seeking inspiration, this episode is packed with insights that resonate on many levels.
