We talked about exercise, the sun, the sense of community and the ability to alleviate stress, but the benefits of surfing are immense.

Today we bring you five more excellent reasons why you shouldn’t wait another day until you catch your first wave.

6 – A GOOD EXCUSE TO TRAVEL

Let’s be honest – we don’t really need any excuse to travel. However, it’s always more fun if you can shake things up by doing something you love while on vacation. Some of the best waves in the world are located right in the edge of Paradise, so we suggest you let your passion stamp your passport and explore new places while opening your horizon to new spots, new surfers and new unforgettable experiences.

7 – IT BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO NATURE

There’s no mistake here – it’s written in songs, books and movies: the Ocean i sone of the most fascinating parts of Mother Nature, and surfers spend endless hours in it, trying to learn its ways and defying it in the next minute. And that feeling of perspective and admiration is utterly overwhelming.

8 – WAKING UP EARLY WILL BE EXCITING

Ok, Ok... not always... but every time you jump out of bed while it’s still dawn just to find your daily waves in those cold mornings you will be contributing so that your biological clock can be more effective and willing to wake up early for other activities.

9 – PRACTICE PATIENCE

Beyond the obvious “waiting for the perfect wave” thing, surfing is not really an ‘imediate activity’. It requires training and patience, but those things which are worthwhile always deserve commitement. When you finally get to your goals it will be immensely rewarding. That’s a lesson you should take for the remaining challenges of your life.

10 – IT WIL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Essentially because life is better when you surf.
