How to combine psychology and surfing for my final paper?

I need to write a paper for my psych class, and I’d like to relate it to surfing somehow. I can be about virtually anything. Culture of surfing? But there’s so much diversity. I don’t know. I just wanted to see if anyone else could come up with something.

    You can write about the internal thrill of surfing. The rush that people experience when doing it and relate that to the pleasure part of the brain…and how addicting the feeling is regardless of the risk. You can discuss risk averse vs. risk taking based on internal values….feeling happy while surfing is of great value and worth the risk. You can look into Expected Utility and Expected Value theory…there might be something there…I forget, it’s been a while. I’m just throwing something out there…maybe you can go on that.
