It was hard on me. It showed me weaknesses i wasn't ready to see; i wasn't ready to admit. It didn't forgive me my insecurities, it didn't work like other things. Like school. Studying was always wiggly for me, i did it but i didn't really believe in myself, although i always had better results than most people for my investment.
But this sport. It is so demanding. The smallest mistake, the smallest hesitation could lead to a fall. Failure is so much easier than progress, to frankly get better requires real dedication, effort, and even more : self-esteem and confidence, good breathing (which for me includes being relaxed and not stressed about failing), good mental and physical preparation.
Today i saw i can be like this. I have what it takes. But it didn't just happen : it's always about surfing ..
