The Joys of Surfing, Health and Fitness
As surfers we are a pretty lucky bunch. When I say surfers, I mean anyone that loves to ride a board.
Snowboarders, Skaters, Wake Boarders.. it doesn’t matter…
At the end of the day we all ‘get off’ from those carves, smooth lines and unique surfing feelings.
And those feelings are vital for us, living in the modern stressed out world.
The feeling is joy.
Only A Surfer Knows The Feeling
Heck, even when we go for a bike ride we look for curbs to hit and driveways to carve a little top turn…
We’re always looking for that special feeling. You do this too right?
That’s the joy or surfing – it’s just in us.
And that my friends is beautiful.
Here’s why.
Surfing (On what ever) Is The Best Sport On Earth
You read that right. The best sport on earth.
It’s pretty simple.
We ride – we feel alive; full of joy.
We ride – moving our mind-bodies outside.
We ride – seeking fresh air and natural beautiful environments.
We ride – and there is no right or wrong, it’s just our own creative expression.
We ride – with anyone and everyone. Old, young, female, male, kids, grandparents – its on.
We ride – world wide and include all cultures, religions & ethnic backgrounds into our surfing tribe.
Surfing Fitness & Health Benefits
Not only that…
We ride – stress dissipates – the known cause of so much mental, emotional and physical illnesses world wide.
We ride – and benefit from healthier bodies, more positive mindsets and enhanced physical fitness.
We ride – with friends and to create new friendships around the globe.
We ride – for our confidence and our self esteem.
We ride – for joy.
And that is a great thing in our modern world.
Enjoy your ride and find your joy.

SURF TRAINING SECRETS
Powering Stronger Surfers
We ride: to fully immerse ourselves in that moment, nothing else matters.
That sense of play reconnects us to ourselves.
We have to embrace the sheer physicality of living a courageous and heroic life.
Masculinity is not about talking about the ride, but riding the ride.
Thank You!
Lovely article, thank you. I personally only ride in the water, because me on a skateboard, hell no. Goodness knows what kind of mayhem I would create!
I totally know all about living in a place without consistent surf, it’s hard. When we can’t travel, we swim, a lot! My partner and I have almost swum the entire west coast of Phuket, from point to point, swimming, free diving and working on stamina! Come surf season, we are super fit and ready to get barreled 😊
Every Surfer, Snowboard & rider would do well ready this and sharing with their crew. Great job. Excellent site.
Keep creating these super blogposts. Its a great website and fantastic blog. Love it.
I only recently discovered a type of movement that really makes me happy and I enjoy doing. Its amazing 🙂
