The Red Hot Chili Peppers singer was on a beach in Hawaii very recently. Fresh off a surfing routine and barring his Calvin Klein shorts, Kiedis decided to bare it all at the side of a road. His body looked furnished with a slew of tattoos, each better than the other, and made with a lot of effort.

At age 60, Kiedis unmistakably looks like a man in his early 30s. With a jacked physique, flat stomach, bulging veins, and arms toned to perfection, Kiedis looked like a man in the prime of his youth.

Kiedis took up surfing as a pastime activity very late in life. Unlike most people who start off young, Kiedis started surfing at age 45. He said, “I feel fortunate that I didn’t start surfing until I was 45 I think, ’cause I feel like I would have never got anything done in my life had I started surfing at a normal age of ten or whenever people start surfing”. However, Kiedis has since been a consistent surfer, and it’s been 15 years, and he is doing it.
The many benefits of Surfing and how Kiedis fell in love with it
As an outdoor sport, Surfing has its rewards for our physical health. The excitement of waiting for the perfect wave, and on its arrival, just scaling on top of it, creates a feel-good factor in our brains. Our brain experiences a flow of a gush of chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. It gives us a joyous and satisfactory feeling like nothing else.

Kiedis found out about his urge for surfing in places like Brazil, LA, and Hawaii. He is a skilled surfer who has charted the gnarly waves of Siargao in the Philippines alongside Manuel Wilmar Melindo. Before Kiedis took up the activity in real life, he got an opportunity to play a surfer on-screen. Kiedis played ‘Tone’, a wild surfer in Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 film “The Point Break”. It starred Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze as the leads.
