Surfing
Exhilarating! That’s what I would imagine that surfers must feel, out in the ocean and looking for waves to ride. I’m not a surfer but I admire the skill of surfers and their ability to master waves. I always get amazed by the human quest for a challenge, pushing the boundaries in pursuit of an interest, a sport, hobby or career.
