Surfing is an extremely popular sport that comes in many different forms: 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 surfing consists of paddling out on a surfboard into the ocean and waiting for a breaking wave to come along. Once you see an opening, you paddle in the direction of the moving wave, matching its speed. Once the ocean begins to carry you, you can hop to your feet and maneuver your board, whether it’s to do tricks like hang tens or stalls, to go inside the tube, or to just enjoy riding the wave.
