Ukuba ubumxelele uCaroline Marks eseyintwazana ukuba uya kukhula abe ngoyena mntu umncinci wakha wakulungela uKhenketho lobuNtshatsheli babaseTyhini (owaziwa ngokuba yiGrand Slam yokusefa), ngekhe akukholelwe.

Ukukhula, ukuntywila emanzini yinto abantakwabo bakaMark ababeyilungile kuyo. Kwakungekho nje into ~. Umdlalo wakhe, ngelo xesha, yayikukubaleka komgqomo-umsitho we-rodeo apho abakhweli bazama ukugqibezela ipateni ye-cloverleaf ejikeleze imigqomo emiselweyo ngexesha elikhawulezayo. (Ewe, eneneni iyinto. Kwaye, ukulunga, yinto nje embi njengokutshekisha.)

“Kuyinto entle ukuhamba ukusuka ekukhweleni ihashe ukuya kwi-surfing,” utshilo uMarks Ubume. "Kodwa wonke umntu kusapho lwam wayekuthanda ukusefa kwaye xa ndandineminyaka eyi-8, abantakwethu baziva ngathi lixesha lokundibonisa iintambo." (Funda iingcebiso zethu ezili-14 zokusefa kwabo baqalayo-ngeeGIF!)

Uthando lukaMarks lokukhwela amaza lwalukhawuleza kakhulu. Ndonwabile nje kakhulu kwaye ndaziva sendalo, utshilo. Wayenganeli nje ukuba ngumfundi okhawulezayo, kodwa waye ephucula nangcono suku ngalunye lokudlula. Kungekudala, abazali bakhe baqala ukumbeka kukhuphiswano kwaye waqala ukuphumelela-okuninzi.

Ube njani yi-Pro Surfer

Ngo-2013, uMarks wayesandul’ ukugqiba iminyaka eli-11 xa wayelawula ubuNtshatsheli bokuSurfing e-Atlantiki, ephumelela kudidi lwamantombazana angaphantsi kweminyaka eli-16, eli-14, kunye ne-12. Enkosi kwimpumelelo yakhe ephantse yangakholeleki, uye waba ngoyena mntu umncinci wakhe wenza iQela le-US Surf.

Ngelo xesha, abazali bakhe baqonda ukuba wayenamandla ngaphezu kokuba babecinga, kwaye yonke intsapho yenza ukuba iMarks igxininise. Kunyaka olandelayo, uMarko kunye nosapho lwakhe baqala ukwahlula ixesha labo phakathi kwekhaya labo eFlorida naseSan Clemente, eCalifornia, apho wazibhaptiza kwilizwe lokuntywila, ebamba izihloko ezininzi zeNational Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) kwisahlulo samantombazana nabasetyhini. Ngexesha aneminyaka eli-15 ubudala, uMarko wayenezihloko ezibini zeVans US Open Pro Junior, kunye ne-International Surfing Association (ISA) Isihloko seHlabathi phantsi kwebhanti lakhe. Ke ngo-2017, waba ngoyena mntu mncinci (oyindoda okanye obhinqileyo) okhe walungela ukhuphiswano lweNtshatsheli yeHlabathi-engqina ukuba, nangona wayeneminyaka yobudala, wayekulungele ngakumbi ukuqhubeka.

"Ngokuqinisekileyo andizange ndicinge ukuba kuya kwenzeka ngokukhawuleza. Ndimele ndizincinze ngamanye amaxesha ukuze ndikhumbule ukuba ndinethamsanqa kangakanani," kusho uMarks. "Kupholile ukuba lapha ndisemncinci kangaka, ke ndizama nje ukufunxa yonke into kwaye ndifunde kangangoko ndinako." (Uthetha ngabadlali abancinci, ababi, jonga umntu oneminyaka engama-20 ubudala okhwela ilitye uMargo Hayes.)

Ngelixa ii-Marks zinokubonakala ngathi ziphantsi, akukho mathandabuzo engqondweni yakhe ukuba ufumene ilungelo lokuba kude kangaka kukhuphiswano. Ngoku ndenze ukhenketho, ndiyazi ukuba kulapho kanye bendifanele ukuba khona, utshilo. "Ndivakalelwa kukuba ndikhule kakhulu kulo nyaka uphelileyo njengembaleki kwaye oko kubonakalisiwe kwi-surfing-ikakhulu ngoba kuya kufuneka ukuba kulapho ufuna ukuba khona."

Ukusingatha uxinzelelo loKhenketho lweHlabathi

"Ndithe ndakufumanisa ukuba ndiya kukhenketho, ndothuka ndonwabile, kodwa ndabona ukuba ubomi bam sele buza kutshintsha ngokupheleleyo," utshilo uMarks.

Ukuhamba kukhenkethi kuthetha ukuba amanqaku azakuchitha unyaka ozayo kunye ne-16 labona bachwephesha bamasefu ababalaseleyo bekhuphisana kwimisitho eli-10 kwihlabathi liphela. "Kuba ndimncinci kakhulu, usapho lwam kuya kufuneka luye kukhenketho kunye nam, noxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo ngokwalo, utshilo. "Bazincama kakhulu, kucacile ukuba ndifuna ukwenza konke okusemandleni am kwaye ndibenze babe nelunda."

Xa engakhuphisani, uMarks uza kuqhubeka noqeqesho lwakhe kwaye asebenze ekulungiseni kakuhle izakhono zakhe. "Ndizama ukuzilolonga yonke imihla kwaye ndityhafise kabini ngemini xa ndingakhuphisani," utshilo. "Uqeqesho ngokwalo ludla ngokubandakanya ukunyamezelana okundisebenzela ukuya kwinqanaba lokudinwa kwaye kundifundise ukutyhalela ngaphaya kwemvakalelo yokufuna ukunikezela. Ngelishwa, xa uswatsha kwaye uzizwa ukhathele, akukho kumisa kunye nokuthatha ikhefu. Ezi ntlobo yemidlalo yoqheliso indinceda ndizinike konke endinako xa ndilapha phandle. " .

Kuvakala ngathi kuninzi ukubeka ipleyiti eneminyaka eli-16 ubudala, akunjalo? Amanqaku ayothusa ngokumangalisayo: "Ngaphambi kokuqala konyaka, ndahlala phantsi nomama, utata, kunye nomqeqeshi kwaye bathi, 'Jonga, akufuneki kubekho uxinzelelo kuba umncinci kakhulu,'" utsho. "Bandixelele ukuba ndingalusekeli ulonwabo lwam kwiziphumo zam kuba ndinethamsanqa lokufumana ifunyenwe eli thuba njengamava okufunda. "

Ulithathile elo cebiso kwaye uyalisebenzisa ngandlela zonke. "Ndiqaphele ukuba, kum, ayisiyiyo i-sprint. Yeyona marathon," utshilo. "Ndinabantu abaninzi abandixhasayo kwaye bandikhuthaza ukuba ndiphume ndiye apho kwaye ndiye konwaba-kwaye yile nto ndiyenzayo."

Kunjani kwiBond namanye amaNqaku eSurf

Phambi koKhenketho lwe-2018 World Surfing League (WSL) Championship Tour, ii-Marks zibe nethuba elikhethekileyo lokufunda amaqhinga okurhweba kuCarissa Moore, oyena mncinane uphumelele itayitile le-WSL. Ngokubambisana noRed Bull, uMarks watyelela uMorey kwisiqithi sakhe saseOahu, apho igqala lomkhosi lamnceda ukulungiselela ityelelo lakhe lokuqala. Ngokudibeneyo, bagxotha amaza besihla besihla ngesiqithi ngokuchanekileyo esibizwa ngegama "Indawo yokuhlangana." (Idibeneyo: Yintshatsheli yeLungu leLizwe leSurf yeLigi yeCarissa Moore eyakha kwakhona ukuzithemba kwakhe emva kokuhlazeka komzimba)

"UCarissa ngumntu omangalisayo," utshilo uMarks. "Ndikhule ndimnqula kangangokuba kwakumangalisa ukumazi kwaye ndibuza imibuzo emininzi."

Into eyothusa uMarko kukuthobeka kukaMoore kunye nesimo sakhe sokungakhathali, nangona eyimbaleki eyaziwayo kwihlabathi. “Xa ukunye naye, awusoze wazi ukuba uyintshatsheli yehlabathi izihlandlo ezithathu,” utshilo uMarks. "Ububungqina bokuba awunyanzelekanga ukuba uhambe nge-chip egxalabeni lakho naphina apho uya khona ngenxa yokuba uphumelele. Kungenzeka ukuba ube ngumntu olungileyo kwaye uqheleke ngokupheleleyo, ebikukuqonda okukhulu kunye nesifundo sobomi kum. "

Ngoku, uMarks ngokwakhe uye waba ngumzekelo kumantombazana amaninzi amancinci. Njengoko esiya kwi-WCT, akaluthathi lula olo xanduva. "Abantu bahlala bendibuza into endiyithandayo ukuyenza ukuze ndizonwabise. Kum, ukuntywila emanzini yeyona nto imnandi emhlabeni," utshilo. "Ke ukuba akukho nto iyenye, ndingafuna amanye amantombazana kunye nabantu abaza kuza benze into ebenza bonwabe kwaye bangahlali nakancinci. Ubomi bufutshane kwaye kungcono ukuba uhambe ngokwenza into oyithandayo."
