    Surfing saved my life. When you wonder what it is to surf, just observe the kindness of sharing time with yourself, with a friend, with your family and with the sea,
    being part of him, of what he gives us every day and it all comes down to having a good time, laughing, connecting with nature.
    Clearer than seeing the moment when he shares a wave with that turtle. That is surfing, no matter the level, it doesn't matter to always compete.
    Surfing is living what the sea gives us.
