Rock Climbing and surfing

I found a passion for rock climbing in 2017 when I went to my local climbing gym. Instantly I was obsessed, with every ascent, my passion grew. Where strength meets strategy, I found myself conquering my fears and excelling quickly. I found many similarities in surfing. A strong mind to muscle connection is essential, plus the gratification I received was the same.
