I do not personally surf but I was surprised to see that an individual can actually surf in lakes or rivers. Do you surf?
I don't surf, but I live a mile from the Atlantic Ocean.  Lots of surfers in this area.
I lived in Charleston, SC for years on the Atlantic. I was also surprised to see that surfing started with the ancient Polynesians.
Wow!  That's interesting.  Polynesian Culture fascinates me.  Have you ever been to Hawaii or French Polynesia?
I have never been to Hawaii but would love to visit there! I see that Hawaii is the most northern island group in Polynesia. have you visited there?
I have not visited Hawaii but is in my 10 year plan.  My neighbors lived there for years and loved it.  I'd love to eat some fresh pineapple and go hike up a volcano.
You will have no problem finding volcanoes! lol The state encompasses almost the entire hawaiian archipaelago!
Hopefully it would be a non-active volcano.  The news of the active volcanoes there are crazy.  I would love to eat some fresh Poke too. 
What in the world is Poke? lol  You have raised my curiosity!
Poke is raw marinated tuna.  They have all different flavors and its super fresh.  So amazing.
