Surfing is the kind of sport where the person
sits out past the break and is waiting for a
wave to come so they can paddle and try to catch
it before it breaks so that they can ride it
and get a good ride. You just get out past the
break and you sit on your board until you see
a wave coming and then when you start to see
waves coming you just get ready to start paddling
and then you try and throw yourself into the
wave and try to stand up.
People in Hawaii made huge wood boards and would
get in the water and paddle themselves out in
the water and then paddle and ride the waves
as they broke over the shallow sand or reefs.
They were later made from lighter wood and wood
soon become made out of fiberglass and epoxy.
That is because they wanted to make surfboards
more durable yet light weight and easy to carry
and use. If they were not easy to carry and
use then nobody would be surfing today because
there are many people who have to walk for awhile
before they can surf and nobody wants to carry
a hundred pound wood surfboard. That would be
horrible to have to carry a piece of wood down
the beach until you got to your spot and then
you jump in the water and the water just water
logs the wood surfboard that is the main reason
why I can see why people changed the surfboard.
When wind blows over a large area it creates
swell and then the water raises causing swell
to rise and develop near beaches and to roll
in. it is from the winds fetch that waves are
produced and made. The wind blows over a huge
area and then the water rises forming waves
and swells that are sent all over whichever
the wind blows that is where the swells are
headed.
The sign of a good surfer is that he can catch
the waves before it breaks and before all the
other surfers can. Also he should be able to
pump down the line and do tricks on the lip
and face of the wave. If he can do lip tricks
like lip slides and airs then he is a good surfers.
People who wait for the wave to break on them
are not that good of surfers but if you see
someone catch a wave before everyone else you
know they are going to just straight tear it
up. If you have someone that catches the wave
and kind of waits for it to pick up you will
see them gain speed fast and then just launch
out of the wave like a rocket. It is pretty
cool if you know how to surf because you just
want to keep surfing over and over because of
the little rush you get when you are dropping
down the face of the wave.
