You are right about the power of the surf, and really the ocean, to provide a healing "vibe." In our book, Earthing:The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?" my co-authors (one is a cardiologist) and I discuss the nature of the transference of energy that occurs when people make direct barefoot contact with the Earth. It is an amazing grace that Mother Earth has given us all. It doesn't have to be the surf or sand either. Right there, beneath our feet...backyards, parks, dirt, gravel, stone, concrete...lies a wonderful and natural treatment table. Just go out and sit or stand or walk (weather permitting, of course) for 40 minutes or so and see the difference in how you feel. If you have pain or stress, notice at the end of the time how much better you feel. This is something very remarkable, very natural, very healing. Most of our society has disconnected from the Earth. We wear insulated shoes of rubber and plastic, and we live on wood and vinyl floors, elevated from the Earth, that keep us separated from the Earth's surface energy. Our book is all about getting reconnected and the many significant benefits that come with it.
