Water, waves, wind: When Mayla stands on the surfboard for the first time, it marks the beginning of a special love story between her and the sea. From that moment on, she spends every free minute on the board. Whether it's the ocean or the Baltic Sea, Mayla is talented, makes quick progress, and holds her own in this boys' world. Yet, doubts keep creeping in: Am I good enough? What if I fail? But wave after wave, Mayla learns to break free from expectations and fears, from the desire to control everything, and from perfectionism. In her inspiring autobiography full of insights, Mayla shows us what we can also learn from the sea – about courage, trust, and finding the right flow in life.
