Loved this: “But that’s the thing about learning a new skill - your anger, frustration, and ego mean nothing to the skill. Your time and energy do.”

Such a great reminder!

I took a surfing lesson while in Bali once and equated it to someone holding me down and shoving salt water up my nose continuously 😂 I’d love to get to the point where I actually felt like I knew what I was doing. I imagine it’s pretty cool! And man, what a workout!

Suuuuuch a great workout. I'm so freaking hungry on surfing days. I'd like to say it gets better and it's less like you're being held down under water, but I think you just keep getting better and chase harder waves, then get held under even more lol

Honestly, picking up surfing at this stage deserves a medal. I’d be proud just to balance on the board on dry land. Bravo!
