Surfing Waves

(Tried using the search forum option, but couldn't find a topic about this..)

What do you listen to before surfing to get pumped and ready for action?

I won't include my playlist just yet, as I feel that it might bias the answers a little bit, and it would be nice to get some new ideas. Please include your top 10 songs.

nothing getting off work is incentive enough or if the waves are ripping i dont need any thing to get me going

True that! Double true! I feel the same way, just going surfing is motivating enough, but sometimes just before heading out / getting picked up I usually blast a couple of songs on full volume to get pumped, Just to get that PSYCHED attitude.. so would be cool to see what other surfers play before heading out into the embrace of poseidon.

So, what do you play before heading out?

I've got a specific playlist called "About To Do It".
Full of high energy or inspirational stuff like Muse, System of a Down, NIN and random other songs which for one reason or another pump me up. Mostly macho testosterone rock stuff

But also a couple of weirdly mellow ones - some contemporary classical stuff (is that an oxymoron? ) by Vitamin String Quartet, and even a bit of Mozart if I need a bit of calming to go with the pumping on big days.

If i'm driving for an early bird session then its anything loud and heavy to keep me awake more than to pump me up. If its an afternoon or evening session its just whatevers in the car.

I guess i would have to say Muse , Linkin Park, or Prodigy, gets me in the mood for a dunking !!!

comeback kid's, 'wake the dead' album is always a good one for me. i think the business's 'hardcore hooligans' will be up there come summer
