“It’s the funnest thing ever. More fun than a trapeze, or even flying.” That was how my thirteen year-old daughter described her first experience with body boarding, which is basically surfing while lying face down on a piece of foam. This got me thinking: why are are some physical activities so incredibly fun? Some people really love to run, do martial arts, or play team sports, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Other activities seem universally appreciated: everyone gets a thrill from jumping on a trampoline, playing in the water, sledding down a hill, or going down a water slide.
