So You Want to Date a Surfer?? - The Surfer's Response

I thought we should revisit this topic as I felt a male surfer's perspective should be shared. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Kristin's article and thought it was accurate for the most part (I have to say that though I actually think so). Nevertheless, there are a few things I would like to clarify and add.

Note: I know that there are lots of female surfers these days but this article primarily refers to surfers and their non-surfing girlfriends.

So you want to date a Surfer??

Let me tell you some things about being a surfer’s girlfriend before you delve into their world of sun, sea, and surf.

Not to mention the lifestyle they lead: nature-loving travelers who are always up for the next adventure or off to the best surf locations, enjoying such carefree and fun lives.

Who wouldn’t be attracted to these laid-back risky specimens? They’re easy-going all right, but there’s a lot more to dating them.
