Surfing is a very original and challenging sport. Surfing can be done on various pieces of material. From heavy wood boards; to recent light graphite boards. Up until the 1940s most boards weighed close to 100 pounds, and were much harder to maneuver on the waves. Now a day, Surfing has evolved into a very competitive sport. There are many surfing competitions all over the globe, for people young and old.
Although surfing can be a very fun and challenging sport, it's just as much dangerous. Some surfers, who go out too far in the water, drown in the water. This usually happens when the surfboard hits their head and knocks them out, or the fins of the surfboard cut them. Some others dangers can be sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, rocks and sandbars. All of these things you need to be aware while surfing, but still you have to remember to have fun.
So now you know the basics, Get out there and Surf!
