What Is Surfing

Athletes stand on surfboards, or use webs, kneeling boards, inflatable rubber mats, rowing, kayaking and other water sports to ride the waves. No matter what kind of equipment is used, athletes should have high skills and balance ability, and be good at long-distance swimming in the wind and waves.

Surfing is driven by waves, and should be carried out on the seashore with wind and waves. The height of the waves should be about 1 meter, and the height should not be less than 30 cm. The Hawaiian Islands have waves suitable for surfing all the year round, especially in winter or spring, there are waves coming from the North Pacific Ocean, with waves as high as 4 meters, which can make athletes glide more than 800 meters.
