whatever happens, happens

"Fear is what keeps us alive. Of course, big waves are scary, but it’s extremely exciting to push yourself in bigger conditions and challenge yourself mentally. In my head, I'm saying, 'Push yourself, be committed, and whatever happens, happens.' The biggest lesson in surfing when you wipe out is to relax — you can't fight the ocean, it's too powerful. So, you just have to go with the flow and enjoy the washing machine ride."
Stephanie Gilmore, world surfing champion
