Surfing taking over?

I've skiied for 17 years and just got back from my first day surfing. I'd have to say this...I think I'm hooked. In fact I had way more fun out there than I've had this whole season on the slopes. First of all it's free. Secondly you get a super-good workout. Third it's way more mellowing than skiing. I'm not sure if it'll take over my skiing life but we'll see. Has anyone ever had a similar experience?

surfing is fun, but maybe since you've been skiing for so long that its just second nature now and surfing is something new

Have you ever been slammed by a overhead to double wave, held under for two more waves, and dragged on to shore while your body scrapes the seas bed?
