Surfing Lifestyle




Why Surf? Why not!A colleague started a training course a few years back for a job that they had just got. As part of the introduction to the course everyone was encouraged to step forward, give their name, history etc., and also their hobbies. It was an IT related training course and when asked he gave surfing as his main interest He did not realise at the time that he should have qualified this with saying that he was actually a surfer of waves and not of the internet. It seems strange how some people when hearing the word 'Surfing' automatically associate it with the Internet, and not not with surfing waves on a surfboard (perhaps this may only seem strange to a surfer). Still, for the purpose of this site they could be both right. Here we are talking about surfing waves, the sport of surfing, the lifestyle of surfing. For the favoured few in the world, surfing's elite such as Kelly Slater and Andy Irons (but to name two of many professional surfers out there), it is their job. For a greatly increasing amount of others it can be one of the most enjoyable pastimes there is.
