Why don’t more black people surf?

I definantly cannot answer for all blacks but I’m not too interested in water sports. It seems to me ( and I may be stereotyping but this is from what I see) blacks don’t seem to be too interested in dangerous, thrill-seeking sports such as mountain climbing and bungee jumping and particularly not water sports. (a joke around the black community is that we’re afraid of the water because of the slave ships but if I were you I would not say it it’s one of those that may only be funny in the black community and may be taken offensively from anyone else) last statement not intended at all to offend.

I recently picked up surfing and am not great, but looking around on the beaches here, there really are not many around like me. But when I went to Puerto Rico, there was so much color, it blew my mind!

Because there are more black people in those areas so it isnt seen as abnormal or even worse someone isnt seen as a sellout. Sometimes you get stares or comments that are condesending,from whites and blacks. ALSO , equipment ,care , teaching, etc sometimes cost more than one wants to pay to enjoy the beach.
