And that's one of those moments, shattering moments, which I am ultimately grateful for, because it's what catalyzed me to, I emerged with more of a commitment and I've had this kind of commitment in my life for most, for many years, but a more intense commitment to live life as truly and beautifully and authentically as conceivable.

And then soon after we moved to the jungle and we lived life, we live now, which is awesome for my family. But I bring that up now, because imagine how one relates to big wave surfing or big wave foiling pre and post drowning. One has to have an integrated sense for one's own mortality versus being naive to the fact that it can happen.

So that tunnel from the pre-conscious to the post-conscious performer is a passage where during that passage, most people are locked up. They underperform where they were when they were more naive. And I don't personally relate to it as a return to the preconscious state.

I relate to it as an integration of one's mortality, of the existential absurdity, into one's consciousness, and then a discovery of a deeper sense of liberation, of freedom, but that is not in denial of what we've learned in that tunnel or what triggered that tunnel, but that is more complex than
