Some sports offer an adrenaline rush, others the ability to become more at peace with nature and gain a deeper understanding of how humans and their environment should interact. One sport that provides both is surfing. A highly popular activity among people of all ages, surfing is one of the most identifiable, iconic, and breathtaking sports that a person can become involved in. Practiced by millions of people all over the world, surfing is one of the few sports that allow for both adrenaline-pumping action and quiet reflection. Like countless others, Bruce Tulio has taken advantage of the benefits that this sport has to share.
Why Surf?
As anyone that takes surfing seriously can tell you, this is a loaded question. Bruce Tulio and other avid surfers are involved in this sport for a number of reasons, including:
- The ability to enjoy the beach from a new perspective
- The rush that comes with catching a big wave
- The tranquility of paddling out into the ocean, seeing nothing but blue waters ahead
- A deeper understanding of the water and how it moves
- A great workout
- Time to let go of the cares of the world
- Time to reflect on life and on what is most important
Not surprisingly, based upon these benefits that the sport provides, many avid surfers have equated the experience to a more religious activity, rather than a purely athletic one. Bruce Tulio certainly understands how surfing can change one’s life perspective and how it can help tune out the worries of the world.
Where Did Bruce Tulio Get Started?
Their first surf session is something that surfers never forget, and Bruce Tulio had his on the west coast of the United States. Facing the great waters of the Pacific Ocean, Bruce Tulio paddled out and learned what it takes to ride a wave. Now, Bruce Tulio and his family surf on the east coast, riding the Atlantic Ocean from the edge of the Jersey Shore.
Surfing is a great sport that many men and women enjoy, as it is one that offers a slightly different experience to each person that tries it. Learning to surf may be difficult at first, but as any avid surfer can tell you, it is well worth the effort!

Being a pilot is a dream to which many young kids aspire, but the percentage of those that actually follow through with that dream is, sadly, relatively low. Some people, though, are able to go through the process of getting their pilot’s license and realize their dream of flying through the skies. One of these people is Bruce Tulio, a man who has been active in the aviation community and continues to seek the fun, solace, and refuge that his plane offers.
Making it Official
Bruce Tulio enjoys flying his Cessna, which he bought after earning his pilot’s license. Getting a pilot’s license is difficult, as students seeking the permit to fly planes on their own must both learn and show their capabilities, quite literally, from the pilot’s seat. Pilot lessons are difficult and, to be honest, sometimes a bit scary, but the skills that are learned during these lessons are key in keeping today’s pilots (and their passengers) safe.
Now a member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Bruce Tulio has joined over 400,000 other pilots in becoming an official part of this association. With the rest of the members of this organization, Bruce Tulio promotes advocacy, leadership, technical savvy, and hard work on behalf of all member pilots.
A New Set of Wings
Of course, after getting his pilot’s license, Bruce Tulio needed a new set of wings. He is the proud owner of a Cessna 152, a two-seat airplane that is popular with many pilots who only fly for personal use. Also a common aircraft used in pilot lessons, this plane is one that was first released to the public in the year 1978.
Active in the Aviation Community
In addition to flying his own plane, Bruce Tulio has embraced the message of the AOPA and become a leader in the aviation community through his work judging the Powder Puff Derby. The first transcontinental air race for women, this is a race that was highly regarded by aviators before it was unfortunately discontinued. Bruce Tulio lent his expertise on the subject and became an important part of the race that he judged.

Posted on 27. Sep, 2011 by admin.
Sailing is a sport that requires its participants to be athletic, knowledgeable, and quick on their feet.

Part of the allure of sailing is the history of the activity, which spans back hundreds of years.

The historic race has captured the adventurous spirit of the sport and will continue to be a popular event with sailing enthusiasts.
Bruce Tulio, naturally, has his own sailboat that he is very proud of. A Hunter 37, this boat has seen him through many sailing expeditions and has provided a great deal of comfort, peace, and fun. Built between 1978 and 1986, this particular sailboat is 37 feet long with a 710 square foot sail area. Used for racing, this particular model can also house its owners and is said to be very, very comfortable. With functional yet private space, this boat has carried Bruce Tulio through many sailing adventures and will continue to provide him with everything he needs to enjoy the life of a sailor.
