2. Introduction
• A former Superior Court judge in Oakland,
California, Paul Seeman likes to stay physically
active. Among the sports Paul Seeman enjoys are
running, outrigger canoeing, and surfing.
Surfing offers a number of health benefits. It has
been shown to boost both physical and mental
health, since it is a relaxing but vigorous sport,
generally seen as a lot more fun than going to the
gym, and a great calorie-burner. An excellent source
of stress relief, it can help ward off depression and
anxiety.

3. Surfing
• Among the other benefits for surfers is simply
being out on the ocean. There is no shortage of
bone-strengthening Vitamin D, as surfers almost
always find themselves in the sun. Surfing comes
with other obvious benefits, such as improving
balance and flexibility. As it requires a lot of
energy, it can help with sleeping patterns too.
Finally, surfing is not an easy sport to master.
But the sheer challenge of learning to do it can
be great for self-esteem.
