It makes me excited if I am scared, I have to do it. Feel the fear and do it anyway!
You can only grow if you`re willing to feel akward and uncomfortable when you try something new. There are rules but there is really no wrong way! So what are you waiting for?
Loving the kitefoil racing, but definitely not ditching my freeride & freestyle gear or other extreme sports. Life is too short to do only one thing!
