They are pretty stereotypical reasons. But i agree and they're the exact same reason i go surfing :D .
Why are no other sports the same??
As quoted from 'Step into liquid' "Nobody goes and just stares at a tennis court"

To me its about living life rather than forgetting it. Im busy all the time - filling my time with unimportant stuff!

But I really feel like Im living life when Im surfing (or just in the water). Makes me feel more at peace and exhilarated than anything else (almost :wink: ), its like im doing something for pure enjoyment with great scenery and friends rather than just running on the 'life treadmill'. - That make sense?
Not eloquent enough to explain with out a VERY long ramble so I'll spare you that :D

well it's hard to put into words what surfing mean to me. surfing is my safe place i guess you could say, nothing can touch me when i'm out there. at the end of the day it puts my life into perspective, and give me a peace that i can find no where else.i love this sport.

Surfing is sorta like bmx riding for me.
I love surfing because i can think of only that, not school, not girls, just my next wave.
I love feeling accomplished, its so thrilling once i ride a nice wave or i do something new.
for example, last week i got tubed. It wasnt good but still. I still remember it now, i was soo happy. I love just laying on my board and seing the waves pass by. it makes me relaxed.
its exhilarating. Adrenaline rushes, just passing over a big wave is thrilling for me because im not very good.
Friends, i have a couple surfer friends and its really nice to talk to them, cheer them on.

Surfing makes me: calm, forget about everything else, concentrated, thrilled, happy, proud.

I love it. It has always been a part of me, and always will.

But, I can't stand just sitting on the beach, or in the car park, watching lush sets roll through. Drives me crazy! I imagine exactly each and every move on that wave. And I eventually just have to go in!

im the same sometimes i sit up in my flat and i have allready had an epic surf day but i look and see these great sets rolling in and i cant resist. Proof that the ocean has a voice because it calls :wink:

I cant really describe what surfing means to me other than when you are on a wave and riding the line nothing feels better :D
