Trying new stuff should be FUN!
Problem is that sometimes we let our fears of what we "think" will happen get ahead of the reality.
I decided to put this to the test recently.
For me the new thing was surfing in my Sea Kayak.... it scared me silly! I was very happy paddling out in the sea but the concept of big scary waves breaking on top of me was not nice.
But, to my amazement, when I actually got some skills and tried it out with a great instructor I discovered a whole new world of excitment, adventure and discovery.
Take a look at the vid below to see how I did it and what I learned.
Oh, and by the way, I am now an addict of surfing :-)
