“Falling over and getting back up is normal for beginners. On my first day surfing, I drank more ‘free seawater’ than I actually stood on the board. Every time I got up, I fell right back down—felt more like practicing drama than doing a sport. But that’s actually where the fun is. Laugh, fall, laugh again. Little by little, without even realizing it… I finally managed to stand, even if just for a few seconds. So if you fall, just relax—that’s all part of the story!”
