Surf (stand-up surfing)
by: Natalia Behrend
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the participant, referred to as a "surfer", rides a surfboard on the forward face of a wave, which is most often carrying the surfer towards shore.
The riding of waves has likely existed since humans began swimming in the ocean. In this sense, bodysurfing is the oldest type of wave-catching. Standing up on what is now called a surfboard is a relatively recent innovation developed by the Polynesians. The influences for modern surfing can be directly traced to the surfers of pre-contact Hawaii.
Surfers usually surf in the Ocean but is also done in wave pools.
The art of surfing, called he'enalu in the Hawaiian language, was first described in 1769 by Joseph Banks on the HMS Endeavour during the first voyage of Captain James Cook. Surfing was a central part of ancient Polynesian culture and predates European contact. Boards back then where made out of wood. Hawaiian people integrated surfing into their culture and made surfing more of an art than anything else.
History:
Surfing is still not a Olympic sport yet but it is a sport and there a lot of surfing competition all over the world each year.
Reflecting differences in board design, including surfboard length, riding style, and the kind of wave that is ridden.
