Megan Halavais, Surf with Amigas trip leader, surf instructor and all around awesome human being shares her nightmarish story of being attacked by a great white shark at her home break in Bodega Bay, California. She opens up about getting back in the water after the attack, how she battled panic attacks and fear in the water in order to keep doing what she loves. She looks back on the attack as a pivotal moment in her life, an experience that has challenged her to push her limits and strive to always be “the maker of her own destiny,” in and out of the water. Regardless of how you experience fear, Megan's story offers new perspectives in facing those hurdles, be it in water or on land.
