I will add to the definition described. Extreme sports tend to take some aspect of a more conventional sport and blow it way out of proportion. Hiking and mountain climbing is not extreme, but scaling a verticle wall of a mountain is extreme. With this in mind.....
Surf Fishing is much to general a term to fit into one class or description.....
Bridge fishing....not extreme
Skishing....EXTREME (and a lot of fun)
Beach fishing....not extreme
Wade Fishing...not extreme
Extreme Wading....fishing horshoe Bar in Barnstable etc....EXTREME
Jetty Fishing...not extreme
Rock Hopping...coulld...Ok EXTREME

Fishing is not an "Extreme" sport in my mind -
Not using your better judgement makes a lot of things "extreme" to one degree or another -
If you're in heavy surf with waves pounding you over the head and you don't back up, that doesn't make it "extreme"......it makes YOU stupid. 
If you're skishing in a raging swell in-between a good rip and the mainland, you're not making it extreme.......you're making yourself an idiot. 
Most "extreme" situations (surf-wise) can NOT be fished correctly...for the most part, you're putting yourself in danger...and you don't catch squat!! From Hero to Zero in point 2 seconds -
I often laugh at the guy who wades out so far he can't use his rod effectively while casting. He can't lower the tip enough to get where he wants to cast....so why wade out so far??? ...."Looky Me, way out here but can't cast farther than the guy 20 feet behind me...but I can spook the fish that were in close".... 
Now if you were talking about targeting Bloocrabs - - - - NOW YOU'RE TALKING EXTREME!!!!  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

I like the casting off of cliffs in South Africa and Hawaii as a bit more extreme however. |

BP - to take that a little farther. Beach Fishing - not extreme
Take an average person and show them Wasque Point at 2 am.4X4s with 10 rods on top, huge coolers welded to the front of the trucks, guys suited up in all kinds of rubber gear......to 99.9% of the population that is wacked. I mean having a vehicle outfitted just for the sole purpose of....catching a fish? sounds like an extreme sport to me |

The wetsuiters and skiishers are extreme. The rockhoppers and all nighters are midstreme, and the daytime baitdunkers are weakstreme. SO, it varies I guess.

Sometimes I stay out all night rockhopping, I do drag bait out with my kayak alot during the day in the Summer, but I don't skiish or wetsuit, so I would say I'm mid to weak stremed.  |

If one is a careless, hapless, fool......one might consider that individual an extreme fisherman!
