Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer, uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Surfing involves riding ocean waves with a surfboard. To catch a wave, the surfer swims a ways out into the ocean lying on their stomach on the surfboard. When a wave comes, the surfer aims the board into land and begins to paddle to “catch” the wave. | Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer, uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore.
