What Is Surfing?
Sun. Surf. Sand. These are the three words that surfers look forward to every time they are headed on a Surfing trip. Imagine rough waves, beautiful tropical waters, Surfing Maneuvers. But what exactly is Surfing? Surfing is basically catching and riding waves on a board. It is a water sport in which a surfer is carried by a breaking wave using a Surfboard toward the shore. The surfer lies on his/her stomach on the board and paddles out into the water. When a wave approaches, the surfer stands up on the board, glides down a breaking wave, using the weight of his or her body to steer the board. The objective is to stay standing on the board as long as possible. This gets harder and more challenging as the waves become bigger and powerful.

Surfing is a water sport in which athletes ride breaking waves into shore on a piece of specialized equipment called a surfboard. The sport has spawned a number of offshoots, including wake boarding, skim boarding, skateboarding, and windsurfing, among others. In addition to being a dynamic sport which can be practiced by people at all levels of ability, surfing is also associated with a specific surfing subculture which some people aim to emulate. California, Hawaii, and Australia are particularly associated with surfing, but good surf spots can be found all over the world, from the coast of Africa to the beaches of Japan.
