Running on Empty

by Damien Rider

Overview

Once I finished the paddle, I figured I would have something solid to share, a real achievement for my legacy. Part of that goal would be stoking the media's interest. My plan was to get a few local papers to do update stories along the way, find some places to give some talks after I paddled in for the day, spread the message, and help people go back to the beach. I felt I had something positive to share. I'm back in the ocean, and I'm feeling great with all this training. This message is what I want to share about how healing the ocean is. Go and paddle, go and surf… just get down to the beach. I really thought I was going to do the paddle, then get back to my life and build my active-wear business. That’s not what happened. From the moment I stepped into the water, laid on the board, and started stroking out of Rainbow Bay, my paddle became something much, much more.
