I can surf but I'm rubbish. I know a couple of peeps who base their whole life around it, they're nice folks, but the scene sucks in the UK... ugh Newquay, I tell them to go somewhere nice where you don't have to rub shoulders with the stag-do louts... man, that place is feral.
Scuba diving is so awesome! Other worldly. If you like DMT, you'll love scuba diving on good reef. Go to the Philippines or Belize/Honduras, they've got the best reef in the world. Live coral is super trippy colours and shapes. There are these little trippy sea slug creatures down there, I forget their name, they come in all sorts of neon colours and patterns, with stalky eyes and some of them even have little 'wings'. And a live cuttlefish glows all sorts of pulsing colours, waving their skirt sinusoidally as they float along, they're like little alien spacecrafts. And the phosphorescence, when you swim at night and get covered in glowing blue 'dust', wow. Forget the turtles and stuff, the glowing things is where it's at. Also, a lot of the fishes down there like the goatfish are actually psychedelic if you eat one, though I never tried :lol:
And the squid glow too... once a line of 15 little squids pushed past me in synchrony, like underwater soldiers. Then they noticed me, and at the same time they all turned to face me and examine me. I waved. Then, realising I was friendly, they all turned back again, and continued their squiddy march. Cool.
