When an Injury Takes You to a Dark Place | Mikayo Mundy - Ep. 99

Mikayo Mundy could still be technically be considered an up and comer on the cable scene, but he’s been around for over a decade. Recently, Mikayo has just been getting back into riding after taking some time off due to injury, and his journey to rediscover wakeboarding, and what it means to him, is a fascinating one. When you get injured it’s easy to find yourself in a dark place, and Mikayo found himself in just that, a dark place. He details how he navigated it, and how he plans to help others who find themselves in a similar situation. We chat all that and much more in Episode 99 of the Grab Matters podcast!
