There were 420 effective questionnaires collected by adopting the purposes sampling. All the collected materials were analyzed by descriptive statistics analysis, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and canonical correlation analysis.
The findings of the study were suggested as the followings:
1. The current conditions of the surfing participants were followed: (1)Gender: the majority were “male”. (2)Age: the range was between 21 and 30 years old.
