I have believed for a long time that surfing has been oversold. By this I mean that the thrills, benefits and general attractions have been exaggerated.

It's a simple question, really. But before considering the responses I have obtained in a short survey on the issue there are a few things that need to be stated explicitly.
Older generations disapproving of younger ones is such a common theme throughout human history and across all cultures that it must be deeply built into our psychology. If it was not, a few moments reflection by those inclined to criticise would lead them to the obvious conclusion that they cannot win. The old grow weaker and less influential, the young get stronger and more influential.
