Understanding The Nervous System's Reaction: First Time in Really Big Waves
Description
Ever wondered how it feels to have a massive wall of water fold itself over your head? In today's episode, listen as Holly recounts just that, the story of the biggest wave she ever caught that also resulted in the biggest wipeout. Let's flashback to the year 2000. It's the early days of the modern era of professional women's surfing. Holly tells the story of a trip to Tahiti on a photo shoot that follows her very first tow-in surfing experience. No matter what surfing a big wave means for you, Holly's story invites us to accept our feelings of fear, anxiety and frustration in high-stress situations in the water.
