I've always liked Parko's answers to these two questions;
Favorite Wave: Long Ones
Favorite Maneuver: Big Ones

Plus a fairly high profile Stand Up Paddler has this to say;
You can find me at the beach about 360 days a year... When theres surf, ill be surfing, when theres wind, ill be paddling, If its dark, ill be drinking, and if your really lucky when it rains you might find me at the gym... (I Hate Weights, There Too Damn Heavy) Oh Yeah and sometimes I go to class and work... but honestly, I need enough money to be comfortable. Lifes too short to spend it working...
Just about Anything active will get me excited... I hate sitting around doing nothing wasting time... unless im tired... then its not a waste, im just resting...
(I thought it was worth sharing! A good motto for life I reckon!!!)
