Surfing Makes You Feel Good!

"But anyone looking to understand the addictive, heady allure of surfing can find scientific evidence of its appeal hidden in Mr. Farley’s work. When the researchers parsed the surfers’ heart rates during the competitions, they found that pulses did not peak during paddling, no matter how hard the riders were scrabbling to grab a wave. Instead, their hearts beat most rapidly just as they finished riding each wave." - excerpt from article in the NY Times.
