I used to surf until a few years ago when due to a bum shoulder when I had to quit, but I can tell you there is nothing as wonerful as when your surfing on a COLD winter's morning than to pee in your wetsuit (you have no option really) and the wonderful warmth that it gives you in the cold water (especially within a nice insulating wetsuit).
I agree that this can equate to happiness, out in nature in the waves without a care in the world and breathing in the fresh sea air into your lungs......and peeing in your wetsuit to warm yourself up. One thing I discovered about this whole peeing thing is that you can't pee when you are paddling or actually surfing. You actually need to come to a dead stop and relax completely lying on your surfboard in order to be able to let go (This was the case for me no matter how urgent the need to pee was)
I hope I haven't grossed you out but anyone who surfs would understand what I'm talking about:) :)
WARM regards (pun intended)
