Surfing Builds Confidence More Than Any Other Sport

You can find them on almost any beach that has waves, surfers that seem to glow with self-belief and make even the hardest things look easy. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself if it’s something in the water that gives them their confidence or could it be those big surfboards that inflate their self-esteem? Well new research from Exeter University in the UK has now proven that surfing is officially the most confidence-building of all sports and there are a couple of theories why.

Before we delve into what influenced the findings, let us first examine just how the research study was carried out. A group of over two hundred people, non of which played sport regularly, where tested in one of 20 sports. An industry-standard written confidence test was filled out by each person that took part, who then participated in one of the sports for a duration of three month, before filling in the test once more after the three months was up. The results showed that those people who had taken up surfing for 3 months reported the greatest increase in scores on the self-confidence test.

Surfing is a sport that promotes confidence on a variety of different levels according to the Exeter University students who conducted the confidence study. To start with it is a sport that forces participants to take on mother nature, who is an adversary not often faced in other sports. Steve Underfield of the Sports and Exercise Sciences Departments states that gaining control of outdoor surroundings is very empowering and gives people the feeling that they can look after themselves even somewhere traditionally outside of their comfort zone. Further more, surfing is a very physically demanding sport and participants gain confidence from not only being fitter but looking fitter to others. Surfers are often made to look even more healthy by the all-over tan that they often pick up from being outside in the sun for much of the day. Lastly, there is a perceived ‘coolness’ around the surfing culture and people easily become moulded to the laid back and confident way of life that goes hand in hand with the sport.

Runner up in the list of most confidence building sports was cycling, so if you’re in need of an ego boost grab your surfboards or mountain bikes, get outside, and start training today

Hercules (Gold Collection)


$9.92


Not the egregious foul it seemed to be in theaters, Hercules stands up as an entertaining spritzer of an animated feature. The continual peppering of in-jokes and cultural references becomes less irksome on video. That there’s no majesty or awe invested in the beloved Greek legends also seems less of an error. Also on the plus side is the bounciest Alan Menken music since Little Shop of Horrors. W…

In other words, no drugs, no murder–just four women of “a certain age,” spending their golden years in the sun.
