Surfboard Surf

Surfboard Surf

You feel your gut drop as your board plunges down a solid 10 foot wall of water. Your breath is coming out in short jolts as your heart slams against your ribcage. Your every instinct is telling you this could be the end of you.

You kick out your heels and lean into the wave as your board shakily catches and then blissfully holds onto the base. You sweep the nose of your board away from the shore and off towards the horizon, where the wave continues to build before you.

All you can hear is the breathy roar of the ocean behind you and the rapid adrenaline fueled bass of your heart pounding in your ears as you fight to keep your board from getting sucked into the blue green sheet in your periphery.

Salt water is streaming into your eyes, but you don't have time to fix it; gotta focus. You brush your hand against the curtain of water to your right and a brilliant spray of white salt water lets you know you're slowing down to keep pace with the wave.

Bad move. Something is off. You can hear the crash of the wave behind you getting close. You need to speed up, NOW.

You crouch down: every ounce of your concentration is going into keeping yourself from slipping and losing this moment forever as your board trembles uncertainly beneath you...and then all of a sudden...bliss.

You are surrounded by liquid art, a gorgeous, swirling blue green portal of glass encircling a broad, roughly painted yellow window into the outside world, your world of sun, sand, and palm trees. A thousands suns shine in through the brilliant cascading roof of tumbling ocean. You take in a deep breath and soak in this moment. You wish you could stay here forever.

A blast of fresh air and sea mist from the collapsing wave behind you snaps you back into reality; you snap your board off the lip of the wave and you shoot neatly out of the tube and into the air: shaky, triumphant, and already craving more. This is surfing at its finest.

Experience

Tube surfing is one of the 3 BIG pinnacles of surfing achievement, ranking right up there with hanging ten and surfing MONSTER waves the size of your apartment. The sheer level of skill necessary to successfully ride the tube, especially exiting cleanly, is off the charts and serves as one of the hardest things you can do as a surfer. It is also one of the most gratifying; and recognizing that, many surfers spend their careers paddling after that perfect wave.

Surfing is just one of those sports that you don't get tired of. Every session out in the water is an open opportunity to experience something incredibly memorable: whether you 're standing up for the first time, riding tandem with your girl, or just staring off into the sunset from your front row seat in the water, you leave every session with a memory you'll never forget.

Community

The nicest part about the surf community, barring a few select individuals, is that it is immediately accepting. Doesn't matter if you're barely potty trained, or well into your silver years.

As long as you show your passion for the sport, there isn't a single surfer out there who wouldn't be happy to sit down, chill, and chat with you about the finer points of surf, sun, and sand. Surfing doesn't inspire lukewarm dedication. All real surfers are FANATICS-and after some quality time in the ocean with your board, you will be too.

Cost

As a lifetime investment, surfing is unmistakably one of the best decisions you can make. Wanna be cut and deliriously happy at 50? Ride your board every day.

Unlike sports like snowboarding, surfing comes with a one-time price tag. You buy your board, your bag, and a wetsuit and you've got a lifetime pass to surf paradise. Unless you do something catastrophic to your board, you'll only need to purchase a $1 bar of wax every now and again to keep your board grippy.

With the summer just over the horizon, now is the BEST time to pick up a new board and get started on your grand surfing adventure.
