Surfing

Surfing is a sport that involves riding the waves on a special board - a surfboard. The art of surfing is very ancient - even half-wild Hawaiians floated on the waves on primitive boards. It was surfing that laid the foundation for such sports like snowboarding or, for example, kitesurfing and windsurfing. Surfing is easy enough - even beginners easily start to cope with their board after a few failures. In fact, to ride, you need to accelerate, catch the right wave, get on your feet and slide down the wave. Of course, you can ride the waves on the lake, but real waves can only be found in the sea or ocean. That is why surfers often go to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, or the North Atlantic coast of Europe. Waves on the water are formed depending on the wind, the shape of the bottom, as well as the frequency of ebb and flow. Of particular importance is the shape of the bottom. For example, if there is a rocky coastline or reefs nearby, then the wave is also a reef. Near the sandy beaches, beach waves are formed - the most unstable, but at the same time the most popular waves among surfers.
