Surfing - History

Surfing History -  Surfing is an incredibly popular leisure activity, a highly competitive sport, and for many people, a complete way of life.  This unique water sport allows surfers to harness the ocean’s natural power in order to ride the surface of its waves, using a man-made board (which can vary in length and size).  Surfing, whether for fun or for sport, is very physically demanding and requires that an individual be acutely aware of his or her surroundings.  At any given moment, a surfer must expertly maneuver the ever-changing ocean, its sea life, its surf conditions and even other surfers sharing the water, all in an effort to catch that big wave to enjoy an epic ride.
