What do the ocean and your water activities bring you?

"The ocean and aquatic activities give me a sense of well-being, both physically and mentally. On the physical side, the buoyancy of the ocean allows me to move around more easily. On the mental side, surfing in front of the ocean soothes me and allows me to refocus on the present moment. Surfing and the ocean are my escape, my therapy, my passion.
