How to not do a meltdown - by Guillermo Meire

It was a beautiful Monday in the second week at keeners. We spend all the morning training in our freestyle skills in Mccoys in small groups of 6. Our coach was Steven. 
I learned lots of things, like how to do better blunts or how to get my Mcnastys more straight.
After that we went to the lunch side, were we got some food.
Than we went river down until we came to Coliseum. At this water level the meltdown was very good and some people of the group tried to do it. At first a said a were not going to do it, but after I saw this people doing it and not getting much time underwater I thought it wasn't that bad and I decided to do it. 
I went in it and I disappeared fast under the water. At first I thought it was ok, but after I felt that I continued going down instead of going up I began to become scared. For some seconds it was all black and than I began to go up but my paddle was still going dawn and I released it. 
When I finally come up I was upside down, without paddle, and I also saw that my skirt had imploded on one side, so after I tried to hand roll and I missed it I decided to pull my skirt and I swam. But the worst was about to arrive, after I swam I got hit by a rock in my back very hard. But thanks to my group I’m got rescued and my material to.
