I tried to surf once. It was a very cold, stormy day. It was a lot of work to just try to surf that day. I stood up on my board only once, and I was so cold. Surfing is an interesting sport, but it takes a lot of practice and strength!

I love surfing but I don’t like sharks . People kill sharks more than sharks kill people , therefore , a man with weapons in hands is the most dangerous specie on the sea .

I’m not living near the coast and I have not though to do surf .
I would like to say it is kind of strong sport among all others sports .
The reason why surfing needs strong legs and to be able control all processing by brain .
That’s my point view .
