REFLECTIONS: every new year, i always like to reflect on the previous. some good things, and some bad. but what’s done is done so i always look at the good. and to summarize up 2019, i’d have to say it was one of the best!
TRAVEL: i went on a few surf trips and scored the most perfect waves. surfing with only a couple friends, enjoying the whole ocean with not a soul around. i’ve seen many perfect empty waves like this and i don’t mind just watching it peel right on by. it’s moments like this that make me appreciate the ocean and everything it’s given me. i’m very thankful…
SURFING: in 2019, i got back into surfing. i felt more connected than ever. something i missed being on the foil so often. but now, i’m at a place where i can do both and enjoy it equally…
FOILING: foiling has brought a new dimension to my life. more exciting, more dangerous, and more rewarding. i can fly like a bird across the sea and even do an off the lip if i wanted to. so yeah, i can fly like a bird and surf at the same time…
SHARING: in 2019, i changed my schedule a lot to share moments like this with my students. i experience things like this my whole life and now i want to share it with everyone. and when i see them enjoying it even more than me, i feel happier than ever…
LEARNING: just in a year, i learned how to forgive, and i learned how to forget. i finally understood that no two people are alike. so instead of everybody having to adjust to me, i just adjust to them. it’s simple and it’s amazing how better our relationships are. and by doing that, my friendships are better, my family is better, my whole life is better, and even my surfboards are better. haha!
so to all my students out there, REFLECT, AND LETS MAKE 2020 A BETTER YEAR…
