They both have their degree of difficulty, both have variables that the other one doesn't. However, if you are talking about physically demanding, it is surfing hands down.Originally Posted by ILL LEGAL OPERATION

The dudes arguing were saying that surfing was more of a workout/physically demanding than skating too...
I might take that side. Surfing is a TOTAL body workout.Originally Posted by ILL LEGAL OPERATION

I thought surfing was a helluva lot more difficult.
actually, I'll get a bit more specific.
It's harder to catch a wave and ride a wave than it is to skate down the street.

I haven't picked up a surfboard in 20 years though.

The degree of balance and control it takes to maneuver an 9 foot plastic board over the ocean is a lot harder than controling a 3 foot wooden plank on solid ground.... at any level.
