Surfcasting.....extreme sport or not?

[BassDawg]

Definitely a sport

YOU determine what makes it extreme, or not so extreme

And the term "extreme" is both subjective and relative.
Subjective, ESPN calls it extreme so it is?
Relative, the participants level of risk and difficulty determines the degree of extremity, imho.......................

My family thinks I'm nuts, obsessed, "extremely involved" with this recreational sport that we all love. Without this healthy obsession and surfbased recreation, i would go NUTS!!! Some would say I already am.......................

it can be.. how many times have you been fishing and for a split second this image went through your head?

i know i've had it many times. i havent really taken it to the "extreme" i am not familiar enough with any rocks to go hoppin around. i tend to stay planted on flat surfaces, in fairly shallow water. but i am stil getting used to having waders... so by the end of next season.. will be showing up in my head quite a bit.

Fish with Numbskull and myself one night and you will know extreme. Ask Tagger.

I dont consider surf fishing a sport.I feel it is a hobby.I also consider it [surf fishing] more like hunting than fishing as it is known by 99% of other people.I will say this.Surf fishing is the most physical demanding of any form of recreational fishing.Thats what has allways attracted me to it.

Skishing and deep-wading (like above your chest) is pretty extreme. You should be a very good fisherman, particularly adept at fish handling, before you migrate over to skishtown. Using a wetsuit does not make you extreme - but handling a pissed-off bluefish in water up to your chin is pretty extreme.
