Surfers will always remember their first real wave. But why did we start surfing? Was it a magazine, a friend or a surf video that ignited our desire to ride the ocean's energy?

We are surfers today. Surf addicts never miss a chance to get to the nearest break, whether it is cloudy, rainy or sunny. No matter what happens in the future, we will never look at the ocean the same way again.
When we drive along the beach, when we watch a surfer on television, when we spot a surfboard on a car rack, when we hear someone talking about waves in the public transports, we know that surfing changes lives.
