Surfing Accident

The life-changing accident that set Vinny on his current path was a solo surfing session gone wrong. Despite his swimming prowess, he was unprepared for the ocean's power, leading to a severe spinal injury. This experience was both terrifying and transformative, pushing him to seek healing through movement and self-awareness.

I was a much better swimmer than I was a surfer, so I was strong enough to get out into the waves, but I was not at all technically skilled enough to ride these things.
