Balance of Nature customer Brian S. has lived in California all his life and started surfing in his fifties.

He shares, “I started surfing when I was 54 years old. You don’t see that a lot. But I’ve lived in California all my life, and I never did surf, so picking it up was something I always kind of wanted to do and just never did. So when the opportunity arose, I started surfing. I’ve been surfing for three years.”

Brian Catches the Surfing Bug

Brian says a surf session for him lasts a couple of hours. “It is physically demanding. And I don’t seem to be sore afterwards or the next day, so I can go again.”

It all started when Brian’s brother-in-law asked him if he wanted to take a surf lesson. 

“We went to Huntington Beach Surf School, took a surf lesson, and I just never really accredited how much of a workout it is. It really is; the paddling is pretty hard on the shoulders. I noticed that as much work as it is to surf with the shoulders and the paddling and legs that I just don’t get sore like I should be.”

Brian loved talking about how fun surfing can be. “Even if the surf is lousy, it’s fun just to get the exercise. It feels good to be out on the water—surfing and getting exercise and moving around and staying active. Even falling is fun!”

Brian hopes to be able to continue surfing into his eighties. “For me, being 57 years old, I believe that I’m active,” he says. “I’m able to do things. I don’t want to slow down. I want to be able to be active. I plan on surfing until I’m 80 or beyond. I see guys out there that have been surfing all their lives that manage to surf into their seventies, and that’s just what I want to do. I want to stay active, I want to surf, and I want to be happy.”

He continues, “Catching a wave is an incredible feeling: Paddling into it and actually getting on the wave propels you to where you can put yourself on the board and come down the wave, make that bottom turn, get into a wave, and stand in the crutch of a wave. It’s really incredible. It’s awesome.”

Even just the wait for the wave can be exhilarating, he says. “Sometimes surfing is just waiting and being out on the water and conversing with other surfers, but being in the right spot is a lot of it. In other words, sometimes the waves don’t come all in the same spot, so you’re going to have to paddle out,” he explains. “And, if you don't want to get pounded by a wave, you have to paddle out and get over them sometimes. To get in the right spot can be challenging, so you have to have the strength to get there.”

More Variety with Balance of Nature Supplements

Brian has been taking Balance of Nature supplements for about four years. “I just love Balance of Nature supplements; I think it’s an awesome product,” he says.

He was taking another product that was three times the cost as Balance of Nature supplements, so he decided to switch.

“I saw Balance of Nature, and ingredients of whole foods in easy-to-take capsules just made sense,” Brian explains. “I wanted to replace the other product with something. I was spending a lot of money, and I thought, ‘Well, I’d just like to spend a little less money, and I want to replace it with something good.’ So I found Balance of Nature supplements and started taking them, and I just knew it was a good product. So I love it, and I’ll always take it.”
