The Potential In Us Awaits

Posted on December 3, 2016December 5, 2019 by Shawn

Windsurfing, is it easy? It depends on how you define it. People will often say, “you make that look so easy.” Honestly, it’s like riding a bike, put your mind to it and you can make anything look easy. I’m pretty confident if you spend any quality time on a given project eventually you’ll start Read more about The Potential In Us Awaits[…]

Rugged mountain trail

Overcoming Fear

Posted on January 17, 2016October 17, 2018 by Shawn

You look up, the trail is rugged and climbs the steep mountainside. The country is wild; there are beasts to fight, mountains to climb, raging rivers to conquer and waves to paddle through.

Get in the water

Posted on December 2, 2015November 30, 2019 by Shawn

It may seem funny to say this, if you’d like to surf you have to paddle out. Having all the right gear doesn’t make you a surfer. To be a surfer you have to get in the water. Life is like that. You may dream of doing great things, but dreaming doesn’t make you great. Read more about Get in the water[…]
