    I'm giving all you jacka$$es a reading assignment:
    In the new issue of 'Surfer' is an article called The Blue Mind (Page 54).
    Read it. It tells us why we surf from a neuroscience standpoint
    Part of the article talks about how your body releases endocannabinoids, dopamine, and serotonin while surfing or even just being in the water.
    There's also some good quotes from the great Shaun Tomson.

    Shaun T's quotes aren't in the article, he's got his own little page. (46)
    You'll dig it SS

    Always down for some endocannabinoids, dopamine and serotonin, throw in some ions and let's party! Sounds good I'll check it. Thanx

    I read it. Also read his book,Blue Mind, which was very repetitive. The article was good though

    it is a good article...talks about how with surfing it is the perfect balance between "red" mind and "blue" mind because of being in the ocean (where we originated from, sorry wayne) and all of the endorphins, etc released associated with that (blue) and then how we are constantly scanning, organizing patterns and then categorizing in anticipation...also trying to avoid death, etc (red)

    all in all, it is a good read...i do think that this theory of read/blue mind is probably prevalent in any type of physical activity that one takes pleasure in. there might be a little bit more to wave/ocean sports due to the evolutionary link, but honestly i get the same level of "euphoria" out of swimming, but it's different...a little more meditative

    but the article does mention how the "blue" mind phenomena is comparable to substance abuse, and how it may be a reason, or cause for those "living in a van down by the" ocean...

    Sorry dudes, I'm a bit techno impaired. I'll try to figure out how to scan the article tomorrow. Your Pier summed it up pretty much. He gets an A.
