Surfing Addiction

When I stared to surf a few years ago, I never thinked that it could turned an addiction. I am certain that some of you have the same sickness. If you are not sure, I give you just some easy symptoms who may help you to detect it...

- Sleeps´disfunctions: problems for a deep sleep and dreams during the night like catching a perfect wave, making impossibles movements or just dreaming about the perfect surfing day that could be tomorrow.
- Loss of sexual motivation: you are tired and you do not want to spend your energy in other "sports". Even, you change your Play Boy´s annual suscription for a sufer magazine suscription. What is your problem men?
- Nourishing changes: you normally eat a banana and a yoghut before surfing? and when you finish, do you run to the fridge to consume like 2000 calories of anything that you find?
- Driving distractions: the number of accidents near the coast increase during the best days of surf. Coincidence?
- Forecast addiction: the first thing and the last thing in the day is just to check a thousand of different forecasts from your "favourite" list.
- Concentration problems: you just pay attention when someone talk about surf. If not, you stay looking anywhere, visualizing your moment.

If you have recognise yourself, just one advice. Do not loose your time and call inmediately to ASP (Association of Surfing Psychologists) and, GOOD LUCK!!

See you in the sea...
