Take a look at some of the video from Preston Holmes: http://www.ptone.com/ChannelIslands7.2001/ While a surf kayak is not quite as responsive as a surf board, I think any difference in the "excitement quotient" is up in the noise. There are things you can do in a kayak that you can't do on a board. Taking a long sea kayak out on to surf-able waves is also enough of an adrenalin rush for most junkies.
