Do you like to surf? Waves are perfect for surfing, usually done in the ocean but some people do it in lakes or rivers
I have never surfed but I would love to give it a shot one day
Its really fun to try. Some surfers can use the artificial waves from a boat or a wave pool to surf on.
I have tried on one of those little fake wave makers but I got wiped out almost immediately haha

Oh, I wonder why the term got more popular and specialized then, who would have thought!
boarding, when a surfer rides a wave on a bodyboard, either lying on their belly, drop knee, or sometimes even standing up on a body board. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surf matting (riding inflatable mats), and using foils. Body surfing, where the wave is surfed without a board, using the surfer's own body to catch and ride the wave, is very common and is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing.
Three major subdivisions within stand-up
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.
