surfing, a definition.

Surfing is basically catching and riding waves on a board. It is a water sport in which a surfer is carried by a breaking wave using a surf board toward the shore. The surfer lies on his/her stomach on the board and paddles out into the water. When a wave approaches, the surfer stands up on the board, glides down a breaking wave, using the weight of his or her body to steer the board. The objective is to stay standing on the board as long as possible. This gets harder and more challenging as the waves become bigger and powerful.
