LONDON: Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz is so obsessed with surfing that she considers it a way to connect with the almighty.

The "Shriek" star loves putting on a wetsuit and climbing on her surfboard because she uses the "spiritual" water sport to talk to god, reports contactmusic.com.

"It's very spiritual for me. It's like being directly in touch with god. It's so healing and amazing," she said.

Known as a surfer girl, the 36-year-old learnt the sport whilst filming 2000 action-comedy "Charlie's Angels" and fell for it.

"It's funny everyone sees me as a surfer girl because I grew up in California, but as a child I never surfed because I had no one to teach me and I didn't even have a surf board. I love it now though," she said.
