Surfing is often a mobile lifestyle, centred around the search for waves. This article analyses Finnish surfer-travellers through a life course perspective. The data consists of 20 thematic life story interviews, conducted in 2016–2017. Surfer-travellers are representative of highly mobile cosmopolitan youth. This analysis focuses on how they have engaged with surf-travelling, what networks and capital they have utilized in doing so, and how their active agency and choices have influenced their lifestyles. Through their individual agency, surfer-travellers organize their lives to prioritize their travels. For surfer-travellers, mobility is a goal in itself, and this leads to a life ‘lived differently’. The results are connected to wider discussions on lifestyle mobilities, youth mobilities, mobile transitions, and changing conceptions of adulthood.

冲浪通常是一种移动生活方式，以寻找海浪为中心。本文从生命历程的角度分析了芬兰的冲浪者。数据包括2016-2017年进行的20次主题生活故事访谈。冲浪旅行者是高度流动的国际化青年的代表。这项分析的重点是他们如何进行冲浪旅行，进行旅行时使用了哪些网络和资金，以及他们积极的代理和选择如何影响他们的生活方式。冲浪者通过自己的代理机构来组织生活，以安排旅行的优先次序。对于冲浪者来说，机动性本身就是一个目标，而这导致了一种“过着不同的生活”。结果与关于生活方式运动，青年运动，流动过渡和成人观念变化的广泛讨论有关。
