Using a composite surfboard made from various materials with very high thermal conductivity (maybe some form of AreoGel composite), surf on a volcano's lava flow.

For the ultimate surfing experience. (Heat resistant wet suit needed!).

       This is discussed at length in the New Scientist book, "Does anything eat wasps".
