Sometimes the hardest part of an injury is the mental side of it. I recently had to take a couple weeks off of paddling due to a strained/ torn oblique muscule. By far the hardest part was keeping my sanity while watching others train, or wanting to paddle when the wave 🌊 while it was empty and no one else was training. Though I feel I’ve used my time off to be productive with off water activities and mental training. I find it funny sometimes as I realize just how much of sport is mental. 🧠 Time off may have been a blessing in disguise 🥸 as I’m now feeling strong, healthy, rested and prepared. As of the last two day I’ve decided to get back out on the water and give it a go. First day was testing things out and feeling how much I can handle. By the second day I was ready to Go! I’m now officially back on the water and ready to fire! 🔥 #LETSGOKAYAKING
