This is great! I’m like you, also a huge scaredy cat. I don’t like to do anything that could possibly cause me harm. I have given surfing a try and was not very successful, for many reasons. So kudos to you for overcoming your fear and tackling it head on, literally! Maybe I’ll get out there and give it another shot.

It’s rad to see that you followed through with this. So many of us set the intention but don’t make the effort to follow through. I think I might just give that longboard another shot 🙂 Thanks Sarah!

Thanks for sharing, Sarah! You’ve made a very important point in this article: fear is a common and normal part of life; learning to see it for what it is, and deciding when it’s necessary to ignore it and follow your dreams, is an empowering way to live. Amazing; I hope to do something like this in the near future!

I am also a scaredy cat. Mainly of going fast. I drive like an old person. I wouldn’t mind trying surfing but the sharks give me the fear. Well done for actually doing this thing. Also I think your pictures on this website are inspiring for would be travelers.

I’ve always wanted to learn to surf but have this phobia of Cape Town’s great whites. But Costa Rica sounds awesome! It’s definitely going on the bucket list.

Huge kudos Sarah. I remember a conversation with someone wise who said surfing is the purest form of exercise and the best possible zen one can experience in life. Judging by your adventures and hearing from J how profound it’s been on him, this seems to still hold true 🙂
