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. 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, angling the nose of your board so it shoots off towards where the wave is still building 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.

Streams of salt water streak off your face and into your eyes--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.

Mistake. Something’s wrong. You can hear the crash of the wave behind you getting close. You need to speed up, NOW.

You’re crouching now: 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 breathe in deep and try with all your might to soak the moment into every fiber of your being. You wish you could stay here forever.

A jet of air and white mist from the collapsing wave behind you blasts you back into the moment and you jet out of the tube, shaky, triumphant, and already craving more. This is surfing at its finest.

Surfing is a sport where you never run out of fresh experiences. 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 As a surfer you have exclusive access to one of the friendliest, most accepting communities out there. Doesn’t matter if you’re barely potty trained, or well into your silver years.
