Do you enjoy surfing?
I do! I've only tried it a few times, it took a while to get used to riding the forward or deep face of a moving wave haha.
I feel like it really pays off after you get the hang of it. 
It's true, especially since you are near the ocean and that's always good anyway, since only ocean waves are really suitable for surfing.
Exactly. I don't think anyone is out here trying to ride the waves on a lake!
You actually can! River and lake waves and tidal bores work too but not as well!
