Surfing is really fun. You can surf anywhere with waves, east coast or west coast. To start surfing, you might want to go to a place with small waves. Make sure you wear a wetsuit in winter! Go to a surf shop and rent a surf board. Ask someone who works there for what type of board you should use. When you get out to the water, just get used to paddling around. When you're ready, Catch a wave! Kneel on your feet and then stand up when you're ready! Have fun! If you have enough money, you can take surfing lessons. I would request surfing lessons or to surf with a friend because it's really fun. Stay safe.
What happens when the crest and trough collide?
The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.
What is the principle of a wave board?

Can you learn to surf on a windsurfing board without a sail?
No, not to my knowledge. It is necissary to have a sail to learn how to windsurf properly. The sail IS windsurfing.
You can SURF in breaking waves on a sailboard with no sail. Several companies are making windsurfing long-boards that let you do this. Some windsurfing short-boards are designed directly after surfing short-boards. Many windsurfers actively sail in surf and literally surf on the wave face, and hence is called waveriding. A surfboard should have a surf rocker that matches the angle/gradient of the wave face. Most windsurf boards are designed for sailing and have a rocker designed for performance and efficientcy with sail power. Windsurfers are typically "planing" when sailing, not "surfing". Both are a condition that occurs when the board reaches a certain velocity and lifts out of the water to travel, but "surfing" is done mainly with the aid of gravity on the wave face.

The plug is threaded with an O-ring seal. It also has a fabric seal that allows air to pass through it without letting water in. Since it is a hollow board, pressure from temperature and elevation changes needs to be equalized, and the fabric seal does just that. You should never have to touch it unless either the seal leaks, or you get a crack in the board. In this case you can unscrew it and drain the board.
