Surfing is a great activity if you want to keep fit and have fun at the same time. It has both aerobic and anaerobic components as it requires the surfer to work his upper body by stroking through the water in order to get out on the waves, and then balance his legs and lower body so he can stand and ride the wave into the shore.
