I skimmed the yoga part, not really reading, needing to know what happened to your friend Maria. Thanks, Athleta, keep it going! Ann Holly,

On land or sea, breathe, especially when in the wrong place at the wrong time! I too had to remember that and relax when almost drowning at El Porto...when I started to panic I realized that I would have a really ugly look on my face if I drowned, so I told myself to relax and breathe when I could, and if I did die at least I would have a peaceful look on my face...it was 97, El Nino was just coming on and El Porto was 10 to 16 on the faces, (10 being cute, the boys were saying 6 to 8 Hawaiian, on the sets...) I had just read the Perfect Storm, and wished I had skipped over the part where he describes what happens when you drown...I learned a few lessons that day...relax and breathe was one...the other two were any fool can paddle out on a big day, (because once i made it through two sets of pounding and found I still had a board, the only way to get out safely was to paddle out and then back down the beach towards Alfredo's. I had been dragged from south of Alfredos to the north where there are nothing but rocks and the shore pound was breaking on the rocks...you know the deal) and the third thing I learned was something that that works in small and big surf, its what the Duke said...wave will come...and my perfect little 14 footer came in with shape, and a right shoulder and I was out of there, lessons learned, next session was at the Cove! Great story Holly! Also love the link to the Volunteer yoga/surf experience, that is sooo cool! Yes, breathe! On land or sea, breathe, especially when in the wrong place at the wrong time!
