I love riding the waves of the ocean and surfing
Really? Is it hard? I have never surfed
It can be, a lot of people start of using knee boarding and inflatible boards
Do you need special equipment to surf?
Just some waves and a surfboard
Oh Ok is it dangerous? What about sharks?
It can be dangerous if you fall off, if you ever encounter a shark, its best to punch them right in the face.
Oh ok do people just figure out how to surf or do you need to take lessons?
Surfing
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or face of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore. However, surfers can also utilize artificial waves such as those from boat wakes and the waves created in artificial wave pools.

History of surfing
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.
