When I was nine, I was taught to ride a surfboard in Waikiki by the beach boy Rabbit Kekai.
From Mangaluru to Karwar, we have a 300-km stretch of sea. Tourism fuels Goa's economy and job creation. If they can do it, why can't we do it here?
I wasn't really a beach boy. I was a city boy, afraid of the ocean.
I didn't have a pool growing up, and we went to the beach to lay out and get sun.
I'm a really big surfer, and I have also been playing a ton of volleyball on the beach on the weekends.
I'm all about shrimpburgers, reading, and going to the beach.
I am always working out, whether I am on vacation or at home. When in La Jolla, I like to surf, play tennis, and golf - but surfing is definitely my favorite.
Surfing is my passion because I love being active on the water.
I love the ocean; growing up around Laguna Beach, I spent my summers surfing, diving, and snorkeling.
Even though I grew up surfing and sailing in Southern California, I was born horse crazy.
I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.
I run on the beach, surf, and bike.
The oceans have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. As a child, I spent hours playing in the surf off Cape Cod. In college, I fished along the rocky coast of Nova Scotia with my school's fishing team.
I grew up in Bedford, N.Y., and it was close enough to Jones Beach on Long Island that every summer my mother would pack the car for the day, and we would drive to the beach!
The north coast of Brittany is eaten into bays from which the sea retreats to considerable distances, and is fringed with reefs and islands. It is a favourite resort of Parisians throughout its stretch, from Dinard to Plestin.
I kind of assumed all of Australia was like the Gold Coast - so I was telling people Australians just work out and go to the beach. Like, Australia has it figured out! But then I went to Sydney, and it was nothing like the Gold Coast - but I still loved it.
The Mississippi coast is not like south Florida, but it always seems warm enough for sandals and short-sleeved shirts, except for now and then.
