As I was losing my sight and more and more things were being taken away from me, I was desperately looking for a way to stay physically active. I ended up resorting to weight lifting for the sake of weight lifting which is something I’d never done before. I used to lift weights to help me perform better at all the other sports I did but without the ability to play all of the spots I’d grown up playing, I began down the road of a rather unhealthy weight lifting routine. Getting bigger for the sake of getting bigger and getting stronger for the sake of getting stronger just kind of left me with injury after injury. It took me a few years, but I finally found surfing and that allowed me to refocus my weight lifting habit into something a little more healthy and utilitarian. Now, when I hit the weight, I do so with an eye towards improving my surfing and keeping my body healthy and strong enough to keep surfing for many years to come.
