Why is it good or worth my time to become a surfer? Being a surfer keeps one grounded and very connected with the natural environment. Water is one of the most important elements on earth, so it is our feeling that this connection is vital to our well-being. As a surfer we also become gate keepers for the marine environment that doesn’t have a voice. Being a surfer also allows us to have a special kind of physical & mental balance that teaches a unique ability to improvise, adapt and overcome in an forever changing environment, as one will never get the same wave or conditions twice. This fact of nature will only assist one in life, and any other sporting endeavors with which one chooses to explore.
