Get Thrashed - Get Better
My buddy Jason took me surfing yesterday at Playa Hermosa. He gave me the necessary fundamentals and threw me to the wolves. The result - I got absolutely thrashed by the ocean. I am stubborn as shit so I stayed out there until my arms couldn’t move anymore and in that time I pretty much only caught three waves. But when I paddled my little face off and felt the wave crash behind me I felt the possibilities. I could feel what it was like to harness that power and in that instant I got crushed.

He's been in a boat since before he could walk so there is also alot of intuition there, but when he carves through a river or lake he has never been on his face changes to a serene focus and the tools and tactics come out.

The Necessary Addiction Behind Your Mashing, Rolling, and Poking.
Your Psoas and QL are not juvenile delinquents that need to beat with a club and receive 1999 Motorola Razors for Christmas. Muscles just do the job you give them.

These therapists search and they destroy. Not exactly who I want touching my body, let alone my psoas. Eeeek.
