To be fair, a colleague of mine who likes to surf and spend a lot of time at the beach loves the rainy weather. He's basically a walking fish, I think.

Does he enjoy the rain only when surfing, or with outdoor activities In general?

Apparently he quite likes in general. I suppose the only irritating thing about rain is having to deal with being wet. As someone who is into water sports, I suspect that part doesn't bother him. Therefore, taking away the frustration that rain brings if you spend any time outdoors.
