I joined Gotham a few years ago, and it completely changed my life. I had never surfed before, but was immediately drawn to the sport. I loved the feeling of being out in the ocean, the challenge of catching a wave, and the sense of peace that I felt when I was surfing. What I didn’t expect was how much the community would change my life. I met so many amazing people, and I quickly felt like I belonged. We supported each other through the highs and lows, and we learned from each other. We also traveled together, and I got to see some amazing places.
Surfing has taught me so much about myself. I’ve learned to be more patient, more persistent, and more grateful. I’ve also learned to let go of my fears and to trust in myself.
“I’m so grateful to be here, it has changed my life in so many ways.”
