Does Surfing Matter? | Almond Surfboards & Designs

Surfing is thrusting yourself into the mercy of the sea in a way that fosters a great respect and admiration.  The activity is reliant on dozens of minute variables all lining up properly. To regularly engage with the ocean is the truest way to ensure that you will love it enough to protect it.For the casual one-weekend-per-year beachgoer, the lens with which they look at the ocean is hazy and marred.  They are seeing the same expansive scene, but aren’t privileged to the nuances and the slight variations from last week, last swell, last Summer.To be a surfer is to be a meteorologist and environmentalist—to some degree.  We cannot help but study and guard the thing that occupies our imagination.  Surfers— along with divers, fisherman, sailors, and paddlers—have a love and respect for the ocean that benefits all of those who sit and home watching their devices entirely unaware of what is at stake.
