Why a surf holiday is a good idea

There was a time when surfing was the domain of counterculture, pot smoking beach bums. As recently as the 1960's and 1970's, surfing was looked upon with a certain level of disdain. There is no doubt that times have changed. Today, there are more than 30 million surfers around the world, as surfing has gained mainstream acceptance since the 1980s. The annual revenue for this industry exceeds $6 billion.
