Surfing and mental well-being

Surfing is popular among people of all ages and abilities. It promotes health and cardiovascular fitness as well as strength in the core, back, shoulders and legs and even the abs. It promotes a sense of peace and mental well-being as well as many opportunities to practice managing anger and learning patience when surfing in crowded spots!  In fact, that is how I became able to have peace even around people who are not courteous or are donwright mean!! Of course, GOD gave lots of help too. Taking lessons to learn the correct surfing technique will help to get you started. You should be a strong swimmer and always be aware of the safety aspects of being in the surf.

Surfing is:
A great way to spend time outdoors and enjoy the natural environment;  A wonderful way to pray and meditate while sitting in the ocean; A fun way to reduce tension and stress as well as have fun with family members.  We always joke "The couple who surfs together stays together".       
  • Learn in Florida or the Bahamas in small, fun, warm waves!!
