Where to Surf Panama: The Hidden Gem of Central America With a stable government, exceptionally well-kept roads, and the US dollar as the national currency, Panama makes an excellent travel destination. Even if you are a group of females, solo travelers, or a family you can feel confident surfing Panama. My husband and I explored the region for almost a month with our one-year-old baby. The pacific Coast of Panama doesn’t get the attention of surfers as the Caribbean coast but don’t write it off. There are plenty of waves on both sides of the country. Especially if you’re willing to go hu ..read more

Red Bull Magnitude Swell One: 1/09/2022 I sat in the channel for over an hour, moderating my breathing, checking my pulse every few minutes. For the previous four days leading up to that hour I had been a wreck. Ever since the “Green Light” for the first filming session of the ‘21-’22 Red Bull Magnitude season, my body was awash in anxiety. That morning my husband loaded my big wave boards and I loaded our 18 month old son into the family minivan. We made the 5 minute drive to Waimea Bay. I opted to skip coffee, my jitters were already way too high. I pulled on my 2mm spring suit and over it a ..read more

Losing the Bravery: Surfing after life happens

Injury, parenthood, age. What happens to the bravery we used to have after life happens to us? Is it possible to get it back? I used to be brave. Bravery was terrifying. My heart racing, my muscles gripping, consumed by that awful, beautiful, unbearable tension in the chest. Deep breath in through the nose. Slow, shaking exhale through the mouth. The primal brain screaming No No NO! But the higher brain laser-focused. And then the moment of truth: do it or return to safety? The moment where bravery wins and fear loses. At that moment I would be so scared but I would do it anyway. I would pull ..read more

“Modern life is rubbish”. That was the name of Blur’s second album. A likely soundtrack to many British groms like myself, growing up in the 90s. I’m pretty sure Blur they weren’t talking about posture but bloody hell, modern life is rubbish for our posture. Look at any kids these days on their phones. Necks constantly curved down towards some screen. Stress has our shoulders all hunched up as we hold our breath forgetting how to breathe. Injury has imbalances playing havoc on muscles and to top it all off, writing this during another COVID lockdown, no one can get to their regular bodywork se ..read more
