There is in fact what we can call the philosophy of surfing, the concept according to which surfing can be compared to a spiritual experience. Surfing is seen by most people as an adrenaline sport, but when you start practicing it you understand how fundamental is the mental aspect connected to the movement of our body.
The ocean is nourishment, power, strength, awareness and the surfing puts you in close contact with all this. During a surfing session you do a mindfulness exercise: your mind is deeply connected with the body and there is nothing else except the present moment, be here and now.
