The so-called happiness hormones include dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and adrenalin or noradrenalin. These neurotransmitters evoke feelings of happiness because they have a relaxing, stimulating or even pain-relieving effect on our nervous system. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>Dopamine<\/span><\/strong><span> strengthens your motivation and activates the reward system in the brain. It is released when you reach a goal you have set for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>Serotonin<\/span><\/strong><span> is considered to be a feel-good hormone. It improves your mood and reduces feeling of fear or anxiety. <\/span>It is activated by sunlight and daylight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>Dopamin and serotonin are opponents: while the dopamine level decreases slowly after reaching a goal, the level of serotonin rises. It influences your mood, your appetite but also your sensitivity to pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>Endorphins<\/span><\/strong><span> on the other side reduce your pain perception \u2013 they are your body\u2019s own anasthetic \u2013 and the make it possible for you to go beyond your limits.

You are moving outside and simply by doing so activate the production of dopamine and serotonin. And with the first muscle ache endorphins are released, too. And one or the other wave probably evokes the adrenaline. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>When surfing you are in the moment and completely switch off your thoughts. All your everyday worries and thoughts stay at the beach because in the line-up you have to concentrate on the waves and the other people around you. You simply don\u2019t have the time to think about anything else. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>Through surfing you become part of a community \u2013 the small talk in the water or at the beach, the shared joy about a beautiful wave or the party wave with your surf buddy. You get to know many new people who share your hobby, understand your interests and with whom you will make a lot of memories. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>And just like Matt Warshaw said: you go surfing to have fun. In surfing there are only few people who strive for faster, higher, further.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Salty||||||||&#8221;
