She told everyone in the eddy she was only going to ferry. When she peeled out, she was shocked by what happened next.

The whitewater decision making strategy that Anna Levesque, former professional whitewater kayaker and founder of Mind Body Paddle, got from Clay Wright years ago sounded strange. In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone Podcast she works out why it became the perfect strategy to come back from her back injury to surf Garburator, her favorite big wave of all time.

If you're the type who puts a lot of pressure on yourself to perform and prepare, but then find that nerves get the best of you in the moment, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

  • The moment Anna realized she was observing herself making a different choice than she had planned

  • When to decide to commit and when to stay curious

  • What Clay says to paddlers before running a river

  • How to support others in making good decisions 

Listen now and take your whitewater decision making to the next level, both on and off the water.
