While out surfing with Coach Mo, he told me that it's better to be on the next big wave and have it all to myself than to be on the best wave and fight 20-25 others guys for it. As with everything in my life, surfing has taught me a great life lesson about learning how to calm down when shit doesn't go my way. I was missing one wave after another, getting angrier and angrier at the waves, which then made my technique completely fall apart and I got worse and worse. So, I sat on my board and for 5 minutes, focused on calming down my breath, out there in the ocean. The more calm I got, the more power I had on the waves when I went back to finish out my surf session. Sometimes the greatest strength we can show is by learning how to calm the fuck down.
