The famous athlete Marta Kostyuk likes to surf big waves in her free time.
Marta Kostyuk almost died while doing her favorite pastime. As the famous Ukrainian tennis player said, he and his wife loved to surf, but one day this activity almost led to his death.
This happened at the beginning of the conquest of the waves. According to the athlete, he almost drowned because of his own self-confidence.
“One day we were surfing in Los Angeles, and my wife noticed that electric stingrays appeared in the ocean. We immediately jumped out of the water like bullets, but after a while we still decided to go back because we thought we: if we die. , then though we die doing what we love.
And then I tried to surf in the Maldives. We honeymooned there, and I almost died then. The waves are bigger than we thought. They are probably five times bigger than Los Angeles. And since it’s our second time, we are very confident.
There are places in the Maldives where the waves crash against the rocks. And then I was spun around and covered by the wave twice, I was inside the bend of the wave and couldn’t get out of it. I was almost exhausted and to be honest I almost died there.
The next day of course I went surfing again and I tried again and I got on the board but I think it’s a very dangerous activity. So you have to choose the time and days when you can do it,” Kostyuk told BTU.
We remind you that the Ukrainian record-breaking tennis player recently celebrated his 100th birthday.
