There's no way fishing burns more calories than surfing. No friggin way.

I tried surfing last summer while in Hawaii (we have family out there, so a bunch of us braved the 12 hr flight) and I tried surfing. I have major respect for anyone who can stand up. Major. The amount of arm strengh required just to paddle out amazed me. I only got up because I had two family members behind me, pushing me off when a wave came. And when I finally got up,zoomin around, I screamed so loud. The beach was super crowded and I was SURE I was going to decapitate someone.

Fishing burns more than surfing? Purplesugar, you must be right about the frisbee, though. Anyone who plays with me burns a lot more than that, since I'm not very good and they have to chase it down.

surfing definitely burns more calories (or at least i would think so)- paddling out is a major workout.

I would think surfing would burn more calories than frisbee but that says they are the same!

That must be frisbee between two people who can throw it right to each other every time. I know I burn more calories playing frisbee than I do fishing!
