Could Surfing Be a Passion for You
Millions of people around the world are addicted to surfing. It is a passion that gets under many people’s skin immediately before they even are proficient. What is it about surfing that beginners say right away, “I love this”?
First is the attraction to millions of being connected to Nature. Some are outdoor types and others never want to exercise or visit the outdoors. When thinking of outdoor environments, most people think of the mountains, oceans, country, or deserts. Millions seek the beaches for vacations as the ultimate escape from work routines. People in cold weather certainly dream of warm balmy beaches.
Surfing is Exercise
Surfing is a lot of exercise. It can be strenuous. Most beginners have had enough after an hour to an hour and a half. Yet, it introduces them to something magical. What does it feel like being pushed on a surfboard by a natural force; no fossil fuel needed. Even those who are not able to stand on the board have a great time catching waves. It might be the next best thing to being able to fly. I always wanted to fly like Superman. Boarders love another board like skateboarders and snowboarders.
Surfing is challenging. Up for a challenge? It challenges learning, physical ability, and stamina. It says, you can be all you want to be. It has no limits. You are not judged. It might give you one inkling of who you are. Most passionate surfers define themselves first as a surfer. Surfers become one with surfing and that means connected intimately with the ocean.
Surfing Might Demand Better Physical Conditioning
To become a better surfer might require work out of the water. Surfing requires strength, flexibility and stamina. There is a whole physical regimen that can be engaged to become a better surfer. Surfing also works better if you are lean. It might lead to a motivation to lose weight in order to become more agile.
Surfing is definitely soulful. It is spiritual. Many times when there are not good waves surfers go in saying “I just want to get wet”. They want to sit on their boards in the water, in the sun, without phones, and absorb the environment. Many surfers go in before work. Their day is made because they got to do something for themselves before the rest of the world starts making demands on them.
If its on your bucket list, get prepared for perhaps a life changing experience.
