How about you upgrade your summer experience and try surfing?
Surfing is a popular water sport which can be enjoyed regardless of the person's age, size, and shape.
But if you still need more convincing, we have listed down eight reasons why you should go on a surf trip.
Take a breather from your 9 to 5
Break the monotony of your city life and recharge.
A change of environment and routine helps in your well-being and is a sure way to cope with stress.
As the saying goes, work to live and not live to work!
Experience places
Surfing is a sensation for all the senses.
Tease yourself as you set eyes on those curls and rolls of water.
Feel the rush of the waves and ride them. Hear the rhythm of them crashing.
And, get a taste of a different kind of accomplishment. It gives the best excuse to travel and start an adventure.
So just go, paddle out to the line-up and you'll definitely see your favorite beach destination from a new perspective.
Meet new people
Surfing will introduce you to people from all walks of life, and surfers are just among the best bunch!
Being a surfer means being part of a community so you get a chance to meet people with the same passions and interests, as well as broaden your horizon.
Have fun while you burn calories
Surfing harmoniously combines cardio, strength, endurance, and mobility training.
It demands and consequently motivates you to build a certain level of fitness, especially if you intend to score bigger waves.
It's a full body workout without you noticing!
Get that sun-kissed glow without even trying
The length of time you spend under the sun while surfing will give you your most desired tan.
You are sure to get that natural sun-kissed look as you load up on vitamin D while at sea.
Grow awareness and appreciation of the environment
When you learn to surf, you are more likely to develop a deep appreciation of the environment, especially the ocean.
You'll be more mindful of the impact you leave outdoors because you don't want to be surfing in a polluted sea, do you?
You may also get the chance to share the waves with marine creatures.
And when you've fallen in love with this sport, you will surely go out of your way to protect and show some care for your newfound relationship with Mother Nature.
Discover more about yourself
While surfing is a good venue to start new friendships, it also offers a time to disconnect since it is, afterall, an individual sport.
Surfing is almost synonymous to meditation, therapy, and even religion to some.
It also provides holistic growth--from advancing your motor skills, control and coordination to instilling patience and boosting your confidence.
Conquering your fear of the deep blue sea, putting in that extra effort to get pass through the devouring waves to reach the line-up, waiting out for your turn and in catching the better wave, and attempting to perfect that ride after several wipeouts surely add to your personal growth.
Be stoked
No amount of joy and excitement compares to getting stoked as you catch and ride waves.
Surfing produces happy hormones that will make you crave for more and plan your next trip.
And no words are enough to describe the degree of high surfers get at their playgrounds.
You have to experience it for yourself!
