Can Surfing Help Change the World?

Perception is...  surfing can come across as a pretty selfish act.  Think about it, when you're in the water it's easy to get put into the mindset of "me, my waves, my break."  But does it have to be this way?

Isn't surfing so much more than that?  Share an experience from your life where surfing has transcended the ocean and evolved into something profound;  it could be a conversation held, a relationship formed, or an experience in a new land.  You don't have to be a surfer to be affected by surfing.

So what do you think?  Can surfing help change the world?

And remember, changing the world usually starts with changing yourself.
