My First Time Surfing Heavy Waves

This was my first time surfing heavy, double overhead waves and I was absolutely terrified. This session took me way out of my comfort zone. What I thought would be the most epic day of the trip turned out to be a full on battle with fear. The waves were bigger than anything I had ever surfed and for most of the session, I felt completely overwhelmed. I only managed to catch two smaller waves towards the end before paddling in. I felt disappointed in myself, but knew that it was a necessary step in my surfing journey. Shot on a DJI Osmo Action 4 and an iPhone 11 Pro.
