Clay Marzo may very well be the first person with Asperger's to have developed a genius for surfing. Check out the documentary. It's educational.
He'll have a schema of many waves that he's ridden before, so he's able to predict what to do in that situation. His brain disconnects from everyday functions, and becomes one with the wave: he'll intuitively know what the wave's doing, so he'll anticipate that, and be ahead of everyone else.
