SURFING QUOTES V

quotations about surfing

Surfing is the antithesis of organized social behavior.

Well, I think competition is holding back the progression of surfing, because you don't have the freedom to make mistakes and fall. And you don't have the time in between events to go and learn something new. You can get lucky and land something one time, but to be able to do it over and over again, you have to really be able to practice it. We just don't have that time. So I think competitive surfing is kind of stuck.

Surfing is a lifestyle to so many more people than it is a sport, so I do understand that the Olympics will change it. But I think it will just stay changed in the surfing sport of it.

The reason I got into surfing was because it was non-judgmental. You can be an outcast and it's fine.
