Laird Hamilton: PTSD from surfing 54 2

Surf 6 years ago 7,019 views

Laird Hamilton contemplates mental observations of surfing, including how expert surfers can read the water and interpret what’s in front of them to understand the weight of what lurks behind them. Hamilton also talks about surfers learning to recover from post-traumatic big-wave syndrome, as there’s nowhere to go mentally but down after surviving a monster wave. Want to see more?

I am 100% PTSD/TBI Disabled Army combat veteran. I liked how he stated that he wouldn't compare his to let's say mine. The symptoms he shared are so common to affliction and I applaud him for sharing that. We tend to see it as not being "man" enough to handle whatever the trauma was.
