So eh, Cal State San Marcos is conducting research on recreational surfing to see if the stimulus of surfing is going to have key physiological impacts regarding health issues such as disease and other variables including reduced strength and balance in later years, reduced cardiovascular disease and a reduced chance of hip fractures as age sets in. Also included in the research is about leg strength which might explain why a surfer chooses a regular or a goofy foot when surfing? Are they getting the range for the maximum health benefit? I think so, as surfing is more of a struggle (to stay alive sometimes) than it is a sport. ;) AWESOME!
