The surf looks dreadful but I'm paddling out The virtue of saying 'yes' when your brain says 'no' and why putting on a wetsuit is usually a good idea in the end.

Sometimes we just need to tell our brains to do exactly the opposite of what they're telling us to.

First Wave Project invites people off the street to try surfing Three experienced surf instructors, Buddy, Zack, and Isaiah, ask strangers randomly if they'd be willing to give surfing a go for free. The results are inspiring and touching.

Imagine you've never surfed and someone stops you on the street and promises you'll be riding a wave in a few minutes.

Keepers of the Quiver: the sentimental weight of a surfboard The love for our personal collection of surfboards keeps us adding new models and shapes to our quiver. But why is that so hard to let go of them? And what is this bond surfers keep?

One for each type of wave, we say. Why do surfers accumulate and barely let go of their surfboards?

The Atlantic coast of Morocco, from Taghazout down to Agadir, is a year-round paradise for surfers. The blend of sun, surf, and Moroccan culture creates a unique "surf and chill" vibe. Who's catching waves with you on the Moroccan coast? Tag them! #SurfCulture #AtlanticCoast #BeachLife

The interesting role of ego in surfing The inflated sense of skills pretty much defines surfers, even if reality is not exactly as colorful and high-performance as we tend to perceive it. The truth is that the ego in surfing starts showing...

Surfing is a way of self-expression. But where are the boundaries between joy and vanity, pleasure and pride? Here's how the ego gets into play before, during, and after we catch our waves.

'You should've been here yesterday' It's one of the classic sayings in surf culture, and it says a lot about surfers and their culture. So, we sat on the therapy couch to learn more about what 'You should've been here yesterday' really ...

"A lineup is a vanity fair with a liquid catwalk on which surfers display and unveil their egos, frustrations, territorialist genes, and sometimes rage."

Making out in the lineup: Surfing in the era of appearances What have we done wrong to surfing and its culture? Where did we compromise the sport's integrity so that it became a fancy social media-friendly vehicle for likes and shares?

Sometimes, surfing could be an unusually odd experience.

Agatha Christie was born on September 15, 1890 🎂 📚 Did you know the "Queen of Mystery" was one of the first Western women to try stand-up surfing?

The most common and popular surfer superstitions and rituals From wetting your face as your feet touch water to riding 'just one more wave,' surfers are definitely superstitious and ritual-loving creatures.

Do you step in and out of the water with your right foot first?

Why living by the ocean makes me surf less I often feel that when the surf is abundant, sometimes the will to ride waves diminishes. Could this be the ultimate irony or paradox of the surfer who lives by the sea?

Do surfers who live within walking distance of the ocean and the waves tend to undervalue what they've got and paddle out less than their inland peers?
