Surfing comes in many different forms such as kneeboarding, bodyboarding, surf-skiing, tow-in surfing and of course the traditional stand-up surfing. Some surfers enjoy the sport as recreation, while others surf competitively for national and worldwide titles. Traditional long board surfing consists of paddling out on a surfboard into the ocean and waiting for a breaking wave to come along. Once you see a breaking wave, you have to paddle in the direction of the moving wave and match its speed. Once the wave begins to carry you, you can hop to your foot or knees and maneuver your board on the wave. There are different maneuvers demonstrated by surfers; hanging five, hanging ten, a floater, switch-foot, tube riding, off-the-top turns, snaps, aerial, and stall are a few of the most popular.
