Remember when you started out & it seemed like you learnt something new every time you went out? Wondering what happened to that fast rate your progression? Stuck in a groundhog day scenario where you can't remember the last new thing you tried & it's not quite giving you the buzz it used to? Welcome to the 'Comfort Zone'...
Time to take a step beyond. Going for something you have never done before is scary - you might take the hardest crash of your life & you might even break some kit. But you might also take your riding forward & you'll definitely find what you were missing! It's just that frightening element of uncertainty, which takes some getting your head around.

Dan stepping out of the 'Comfort Zone' |
Think right back to when you started. You took up kiting or windsurfing for the exhilaration & the excitement which comes with being propelled by the forces of nature on the edge of your skills & control... Now do something new for that reason alone. If you crash it's not a problem. If you stick the move so much the better!
Focus on what you can't do & you'll never try. Accept you're about to do something that you might not land & start to enjoy the ride again.
Aloha
