From 17-20 Jan 2014, I went to Telok Ramunia (Malaysia) for a 4 star course, it was a superb experience for me as I have only experience flat water in Singapore. <\/p>\n

In these 4 days, I learn how to look at “windows of opportunities” to punch through the waves before they collapse and crash onto me. And if they do collapse on me, I learn to manage such great force (waves as high as 2m collapsing is no joke) to make sure I can roll back up even after I capsize, or to use this collapsing force as support to ensure I stay safe.<\/p>\n

After this course, I can totally appreciate the importance of tucking in when you capsize and looking forward to spot windows to be able to punch out climbing more manageable waves (or before they collapse). I also learn that the feeling of being capsized inside a crashing wave is like in a washing machine (with fine sand).<\/p>\n

I am glad to have made it. Safe and sound! =)<\/p>\n
