I love it when you look over your shoulder and see the wave that your going to ride. You start paddling and then woosh your skimming across the water at speed and the feeling is awesome. I'm hooked!

Big Wave Fanatic
"Surfing is a special kind of madness" "It is a culmination of love, respect,knowledge and fear-" The ocean is our dance floor. The second we paddle out to the line up we are asking the ocean for a dance and she will either willfully accpet by letting connect as one on the wave or decline. I remember when i first started surfing....i was scared and my stomach was a twisted knot of pain, and every time i went to stand up on a wave i would fall down (hard) and get hurt. It wasn't until my fifth hard fall that I realized, surfing is mental...it is all about your state of mind. If you are scared and don't think you can do it, then you wont but if you are confident and sure of your surfing while paddling into a wave, you will charge that wave like nothing. I love surfing more than anything else in this world and it is my dream to surf every single break there is in this world. Although i am not a pro or completely experienced i am determined to stare down the face of a 35 foot giant at mavericks or a razor sharp coral reef at pipeline...keep on surfing and dont give up on your dreams of doing it, you are your own unique surfer and dont let any body tell you that you can't do it..because you can as long as your have the heart and determination to do it..I did.

Miguel from Portugal
my happiest moments are when I do new manouvers, then I get out into the sand with a huge smile and wanting to jump around, then your friends come along with the same smile and same feeling, look at you and say "man you rippin!" eheh

Getting in the car after a good sesh, winding down the window and listening to those waves that you know you'll see tomorrow. Relaxed and with a grin from each ear.

jed frampton from ventnor, isle of wight
I think that the best thing about surfing is the joy of chatching your first wave. that memory lasts for ever.
roxy, durban
when you see a school of fish under you! what an awesome feeling and when you have a big wipeout and come out with sand everywhere!

There can't be only one thing, it's a bit like having only one best ever wave so here's two.
The warm can of beer that's been fizzing beside my tent in the warm August sunshine whilst I surfed for 5 hours straight in head high glass with few suf buddies, beer never tasted so good.
The freezing cold January surf on a small glassy beak sharing wave, having a laugh shouting our heads off so much the surf shop owner closed the door and came surfing too.
Ps there's no wave in Ireland, Wales blocks all the swell
timmydevon
the thrill of waiting for that perfect wave then the excitement once your on it and the mental pictures you take to look at for weeks to come.
JC from MA

Camping in the summer down Gennith. Can't beat it.Getting up, slipping into your suit and jogging down the beach to catch your first wave of the day. Surfing till the sun goes down. Then chillin with mates on a bbq with a couple of cans and music on the go!
Ed
Surfing takes me away from the hassle and problems of life, forget everything and just surf. Surfing is what I like about surfing
Sunshine from SoCal
Sitting in the lineup, seeing a set off in the horizon and knowing that your name is on one of them!
Jason from Shoreham-by-Sea
Catching just the right wave that could carry you all the way in to the shore if you wanted...
Also, finding a great beach that is completely secluded, and you can just be there all day. Brilliant!

The feeling that only a surfer knows!!!
w42ren
Being sucked over the falls, forcibly submerged, spherically compressed and released from the wave, it feels like a rebirth.
Ray Sebastian,Fl
Hearing the surf repost 3 days in advance to find out the day you go out that its much better. the feel you get when you make your way back to your car and someone tells you, maaan your so sick, you shred like a pro.
Katie from Ayles
I love the silence, the anticipation, the sunshine warm on your face. I love glassy waves that whoosh infront of you as you catch the best of the set and ride gently stroking the face with you hand. Paddling back over the top of waves, life feels great!
surf for life
talkin to ur closest mates about the sick moves u dident realy stick.
ToneZBoneZ ,south Florida
dreaming about playing in the waves for years and years and finally really doing it.
Mikey Monkfish (Bridgend)
Surfing/Bodyboarding is just so much fun for me! I don't care if I'm no good, or even if I don't catch many waves, it's just the thrill of being out in the Sea having fun. I went out the other day having not been in the wet stuff for a year or so, and I enjoyed it. I was aching badly next day, but I still went back for more! :-)
j0s
just making it over a wave by forcing yourself through the top and getting the wet slap in the face...but knowing all that paddling paid off and you can just sit and wait for the next set...good times :)
sara davis from coffs
i love how unpredicatable the water is. how one minute your up and riding , the next your in a sea of white wash and water. and your nose is full of bubbles. then you get straight back up onto your board and keep on going.
Sian from Port TAlbot
Watching some sexy guy on a green roger cooper in ABERAVON...oh hes so cute...about 6 foot dark hair flowing back....drives a vovlo estate!!!the joys of surfing!!!

Jake, Nova Scotia
Just sitting out past the sets on a clean day. The feeling is just like flating, especially after getting the shit beat out of you. It is just a feeling of peace that you cant get anywhere else.
Tim from Bristol
Dropping down the backside of a big wave on the paddle out on an offshore day, and feeling the spray rain down on me. (and the rainbow in the spray)
