Surfers only ride a wave for an average time of six seconds and the waves of their lives only happen from time to time.


The fact is that in surfing, it's rare to meet someone who quit surfing because he didn't enjoy the feeling of walking on water. Surfers have more fair surf sessions than epic moments in crystal clear water waves. The best ridden waves of their lives only once in a while.
