How to Come Over your Fears at Dragon's Tongue by Maddie Gerard

ran Dragons tongue for the first time this week. It was super scary because you have so many things to worry about. I worried about missing the boof, getting stuck in the hole on the tongue, and the hole at the bottom of the rapid. This is how can over my fears. I knew I was in a safe area and that I was in good hands running this rapid. I followed Owen so I had the right line and would not get stuck in the tongue hole. I kinda had to go because we were in a rush to get back and also it would be a tuff video to brag to my sister. Just go! I did a few pretty good job on the first half of the rapid ( the tongue) but the last half was kinda nasty. I didn’t make the sneak so I went in to the hole. After a couple cart wheels, I got control and side surfed for about a 1 1/2 until I flipped around and finished the rapid without swimming! That’s how you face your fear and also if you think you might be to slow it is never a bad thing to keep going a push harder.
