“The Bruce Lee Story,” written by Linda Lee, Mike Lee, and Jack Vaughn, was published in 1989 in memories of one of the biggest influences, Bruce Lee. I have always admired Bruce Lee’s character because he seemed to have so much wisdom stored within himself.

Lee recommends people to think outside the box by expanding their horizons and letting the experience, the water, decide what shape their conceptions take.
As for crashing, that's a concept of force. Meaning, when something is hit by water, it doesn't get "hurt" because water is all that dense or "sharp". People get hurt because of the weight of the water. It's all the water molecules combined in the wave that people feel, all crashing into them. It's the surf. That's what makes it power.
This passage in particular is significant because it educates readers to be open minded and not confine themselves to what they believe is harmful. People need to explore and do whatever they desire, as they are as free as water can be.
