Don't Fight The Wave


I was teaching Hannah how to play in the waves at Napili bay today. Here are the important things:

  1. Salt water can be unpleasant at first but you get used to it
  2. Its good to expand beyond your comfort zone
  3. When the water pushes you in towards the shore, hang on for the ride
  4. When the water pulls you away from the shore don’t fight it, it can’t pull forever
  5. Enjoy every ride, even if it doesn’t work out the way you expect
  6. Rinse, repeat & do it again
