    Surfing equipment includes surfboards made of materials like plastic and fiberglass that come in longboard and shortboard styles. Surfers also use surf wax, wetsuits, and fins. Longboards provide more stability while shortboards allow for maneuvers. Wetsuits are worn to stay warm in cold water. Surfing can also be done by bodyboarding, wake surfing, and big wave surfing. Safety concerns include drowning, wildlife, and injuries from falling or being dragged by waves.

    SURFING EQUIPMENT

    1. Surfboards are usually hollow and weigh between


    4 and 10 kilograms (9-22 pounds). They are usually
    constructed of manmade materials such
    as plastic and fiberglass.
     Longboard is typically about 3 meters (9 feet) long.
    The nose, or front part of the surfboard, is rounded.
    Longboards can be slightly wider and thicker than
    shortboards, making them more stable
    and buoyant (able to stay afloat).
     Shortboards are about 2 meters (6 feet) long. They
    have a more pointed nose, and usually have more fins
    than longboards.
    3. Wetsuits are used to keep warm while surfing. Most
    diehard surfers will want to surf at times when the

    material that traps water between the material and your

     Cold-water surfers can wear full-body wetsuits,
    including hoods, boots and gloves.
    WAYS TO SURF

    2. Shortboards allow for greater


    maneuverability. Shortboarders practice a variety
    of different turns. “Cutbacks” are turns that force
    the surfer back toward the breaking wave.

    1. Longboards allow surfers greater balance


    than any other kind of surfboard. Because of
    this balance and stability, longboarders can do
    what looks like gymnastics on their surfboards.
    3. Big-wave surfing is just what it sounds
    like: surfing very, very big waves. Most
    surfers ride waves between 3 and 6 meters
    (9-20 feet) high. Big waves can be four
    times that high, more than 25 meters (82
    feet) tall.
    4. Wake surfing is like water skiing on a
    surfboard. Wakes are the wave trails left by
    boats or other heavy objects traveling
    quickly through the water. Surfers on very
    short boards trail behind boats and surf in
    the wakes they create. 
    5. Bodysurfing is the art and science of
    riding down a breaking wave without a
    board. Bodysurfers often wear
    specialized swim fins, or plastic flippers
    attached to their feet.
    SOME COMMON SURFING TERMS

    1. Hang ten: riding a surfboard with both feet on the portion of the wave where the top of the
    the front of the board and all ten toes hanging off wave has curled over the rider and the
    the edge.  surfer is now riding inside a tube of water.

    wave. 
    5. Pump: when the surfer turns back and
    forth into the wave to generate speed. 

    6. Cutback: when the surfer turns back into


    the breaking part of the wave. 
    7. Regular: riding the surfboard with the
    right foot on the back and the left foot on
    the front. 

    8. Goofy: riding the surfboard with the left


    foot on the back and the right foot on the
    front.
    SURFING SAFETY

     Drowning can occur by being pulled under the water and by being dragged out to sea.
     Wipeout is the act of falling off a surfboard while riding a wave. Wipeouts are more
    common where waves are larger, stronger or more unpredictable.
     Sea life can also pose a danger to surfers. Kelp is large seaweed that can grow 9
    meters (30 feet) tall. Kelp forests grow from the ocean floor, and their tops rest on the
    ocean surface.
     Animals in the surf can put surfers in danger. Bull sharks, tiger sharks, and great white
    sharks are probably the biggest risk.
