\"\"<\/p>\n

Dating a surfer definitely has its perks. For the most part, we\u2019re in decent shape, tan, adventurous, and in touch with nature. But before you let yourself fall completely head over heels for a surfer, there are some things you should consider.<\/p>\n

1. We\u2019re late, a lot…<\/h3>\n

The phrase, just one more wave,<\/em> is often spoken, but never with the slightest trace of honesty. Does that make us pathological liars? Perhaps, but if it means just a bit more surfing we don\u2019t care. So, if we\u2019re in the water before a date, even if it\u2019s hours before, expect some type of delay. It\u2019s not that we don\u2019t want to be there, it\u2019s just hard to keep track of time when we\u2019re doing what we love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. We\u2019re messy<\/h3>\n

If we didn\u2019t explicitly let you know that we surfed, chances are you would be able to sniff out the fact that we spend an odd amount of time in the water and at the beach. The interior of our car is most likely decorated with a light dusting of sand. We will have awkward tan\/burn lines all over our body from our wetsuits. And finally, you may notice the occasional saltwater stream spill out of our nose, if we surfed the morning before date night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. We care about the environment, and it might get on your nerves<\/h3>\n

As surfers, we are constantly immersed in nature. We\u2019ve seen first-hand what littering can do to the ocean, so we won\u2019t stand for it. If you litter, even just once, we will politely, yet firmly remind you that we could very well be seeing that piece of trash in the lineup. And if we\u2019re at the beach together, we may or may not remind you that your sunscreen should be reef safe. Eventually, you\u2019ll grow to love our passion for protecting the environment. We\u2019re just trying to keep our playground safe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. We think you\u2019re important, but we won\u2019t miss a good swell<\/h3>\n

Birthdays, dinners, parties, friend\u2019s wedding, even meeting your folks: all of these things are important. But if there\u2019s a once in a lifetime swell hitting the coast at the same time, chances are we may not be there. Now this may be the hardest of all to accept, and it will absolutely cause some tension, but surfing is our first love and we will always go back to her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. We\u2019re passionate<\/h3>\n

While we might have a rugged sea-worn appearance, lack basic punctuality, talk about nothing but surfing, weather and wave checks and even disappear for hours on end during a good swell, we surfers are a passionate bunch. When we care about something or someone, we throw ourselves into it, committing time and effort. And if we are a fraction as crazy about you as we are about surfing, you are sure to feel loved.<\/p>\n
