Surfing

It's simply a leisure activity (which also gives the body a good work-out). The user simply makes use of available wind to propel themselves along the surface of the sea. Often, there is enough force in the wind to lift the kite-surfer clear of the water.

There are numerous varieties of surfing, each with its own special challenges and experiences:

Regular Surfing: A surfer uses a surfboard, either a longboard or a shortboard, to ride ocean waves in this conventional kind of surfing.

Longboarding: Longboards are longer and wider than regular surfboards, which provides stability and makes it easier to catch waves. They are perfect for novices and have a sleek, fashionable feel.

Shortboarding: Because shortboards are smaller and easier to manoeuvre, skilled surfers may execute more daring and high-performance tricks.

Surfers who face big waves, which frequently reach heights of 20 to 100 feet or more, need specialized gear and highly developed skills.

Tow-in surfing is the practice of employing a boat or jet ski to pull surfers into very high waves that are otherwise impossible to catch by paddling.

Surfers who practice stand-up paddle (SUP) surfing combine elements of surfing and paddling by standing while using a paddle and a larger board to catch waves.

Bodyboarding: Surfers often lie on their stomachs while they surf waves on a small, rectangular board known as a bodyboard.

River surfing is the practice of surfing on still river waves, which can be found in some places with powerful river currents.

Surfing and sailing are combined in wind surfing, which uses a sail that is linked to the board for propulsion.

it started when they learned how to make board's for windsurfing. which was probaly about the 1700s

Swash is when the water of the sea moves up the beach/land.

Backwash is when the water of the sea moves away from the beach/sand.

Depends. Some boards come with 'channels' where fins aren't needed. A board with channels may not even have holes to screw in fins. A board without channels or fins is very slippery and harder to maintain stability. However, it can be great for doing surface spin tricks as the lack of fins provides easy spinning.

Besides these positive points internet has some negative point which can not be neglected just like, if we use internet in excess we become addict of it that's may be harmful to our health, children may use some inappropriate website so there may be some negative impact on their little mind.

Surfing is a sport, and like a lot of sports, it requires physical exercise which is good for you. Not to mention, surfing may be good for you emotionally because it calms you down and/or socially.

the force of gravity, natural force(weight), the applied force(your pushing off of the ground with your foot), and the frictional force.

Yes, surfboards need fins. The fins cut easily through the water when going forward, but create a lot of drag when turned sideways. This makes the board wand to keep going forward and not slip sideways (the same way a keel works for a sailboat or sailboard). Without the fins the surfer would have no way of making the board go forward, and no way of turning the boadr (it would slip sideways every time he/she tried to dig the rail into the wave).

This question has no real correct answer! There are many factors that come into play when discussing surfboard sizes, dimensions and shapes, However as a rule I find my own personal weight determines most of the specifications of my boards, not so much my height as many beginners and even intermediate surfers believe. Then there's an issue of surf conditions! the size of the swell the speed of the swell and the shape of the break, all play a role in my choosing which board I'm going to use on any given day or even time of the day in reference to the tide on a particular break. In saying all that i still base all my own personal boards around my own personal weight and more so in my younger years id constantly be measuring my weight to ensure that my shaper was prepping the right board for me at that particular time, as a more "mature" surfer, that and the fact that i now no longer tour or compete in as many events it has become less of an issue. The following is a guide based on weight your own preferences may come into play a fair bit, for example if you read the chart you will see that some one like Kelly Slater should be riding a 6"4" board or there abouts as apposed to the 5'10" i saw him killing it on last year! but keep in mind Mr Slater is the youngest ever world Champion the oldest ever world champion, has been the world champion more times than anyone else and to put it blunt, having surfed against him I'm comfortable in suggesting he is a surfing freak, there will be no other in our life time that produces that degree of surfing success I urge you strongly, If I may for a second talk to your local shaper, buy a board that is handmade/shaped and try and buy it of your local guy, the consequences of not doing that may turn to be a dramatic issue in the future of our sport! Yes you may pay a few dollars extra but you will be doubly stoked with the outcome!

Average Length of a Surf Board is 8 ft.

by my calculations the calves ,thighs ,arms and of course the optical nerves

Hobie Alter made some of the first foam surfboards, and he used polyurethane foam. But basically, any rigid plastic foam that won't melt when you put resin on it will work.

A Beach with large waves and no rifts. And soft sand to bang you Girlfriend on.
