They're two polar opposites. There is no use in comparing which is better when they are so different.

skiing is better if you live where there is snow. surfing is better if you live where there are waves

All I know is that I love them both. I can't wait to get back doing either. They are polar opposites. Both are from the soul man. Soul sports bro.

Maybe if they developed chair lifts for surfing, that would drop you off just outside the break.

I feel like there's not much room for differences in style and ability in surfing. To my untrained eye, it looks like all it is is who can catch the biggest wave and who has the best whip

This, surfing is a pain in the ass to learn because you have to paddle, then when you get to the line up, everyone wants to go at the same time. If I lived somewhere with a quiet lineup and consistent swell it'd be fun to learn, otherwise not going to bother.

Skiing has wolves. And death cookies. We've lost a lot of good skiers to wolves and death cookies.

How can you even compare.... dude, totally different. Getting barrel is amazing, getting face shots is also something amazing but totally different. PNW is great because you can do both in one day if you wanted to. They're totally different, surfings more mellow and relaxed, skiings more aggressive/creative. Whatever floats your boat, but both float mine lol

skiing is better for lazy impatient fucks who need to have chairlift take them to their destination of shred. surfers paddle out and wait for waves like men. were all just a bunch of pussies.

i used to surf alot but my board broke and i havent had the money to buy a new one buttt... surfing can be done throughout the entire year and is really chill. While i love skiing it is also way more expensive but the creativity that you can have is crazy

Who gets attacked by wolves? Oh wait, no one! Why? Because they're the closest relative of our best good friend. Wolves are cool as hell. Why don't they have a wolf week on the discovery channel? Because it would be boring, after a day or two the camera crew would just give up and smoke joints with their cool ass wolf pack homies.
