“Surfing has taught me how to overcome my fears and has given me a deeper level of appreciation for the ocean and all its power. It offers me great physical challenges and provides spiritual happiness that I hadn’t encountered before. The lessons I learn in the water better prepare me to accept and embrace life’s waves.”
