Valley – June 19, 2024 – Linda Scandore

Peniche – Baleal Surf Camp Day #3
Weather: 60-70°/ blue skies with white clouds

I am now the slower of two surfers. Feeling crushed transitions to feeling defeated. Lunch gives me time to rethink. It’s not about what I can’t do but what I can do. With Kaby’s infectious laugh and positive energy it isn’t hard to keep a positive mental attitude. I begin improving. My stance is upright allowing me to shift my weight from toes to heel for control. I am by no means consistent but better. Learning to surf is a progression of peaks and valleys. It’s what you do when you are in the valley that is important. Life isn’t much different.
