Everybody says the ice bath is mental. I disagree because my mental is pretty strong when it comes to pain. The cold is different. I almost froze to death a few times in the snow mountains. I almost froze to death surfing in South Africa too. And after the first cold winter living in Japan, I moved back to Hawaii before the next one. It’s something about the cold that my body can’t tolerate. But the only way to get stronger is to keep on trying right?
Tony taught me how to surf big waves by taking me out to huge surf that I wasn’t ready for. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he closed the lid of the freezer on me. Haha.
