Everything !!!! I love the sea, the waves, the freedom, the adrenaline, the exercise and surfing with my friends. I live to surf!!!
Contests are important to push one's surfing to new levels and to improve one's surfing ability (reading waves and surfing under difficult situations).
As well as building confidence, focus and drive to do well. Contests add a different element to
one's surfing.
Extremely fast and responsive! However a certain level of strength is needed. I like a board that allows me to do the tightest turns possible on a wave yet still allow me to do huge arcing turns and throw the tail around on a open face.
