I felt stuck, trapped, unhappy and that I was wasting my life, but at the same time I knew that this would ultimately lead me to a freedom-based life that I desired... At the exact same time I started working on bringing the surf poncho business idea to life, which soon turned out to be a difficult and overwhelming endeavour as for two years I couldn't find the fabric I was looking for - which would be 100% cotton, velour from one side and terry cloth from the other, but I knew that I would not give up until I find it,..
