Surfing seems so fun but I haven't tried it before.
It is a lot of fun.  People have been surfing in one form or another since humans started swimming in the sea
Really? What was the purpose back then?
I am sure it was just for fun.  Standing on a board was attributed to the Polynesians.  Basically surfing comes from ancient Hawaii
Oh okay, I thought it might be for some weird hunting back then.
Perhaps, but not from what I have heard.  Surfing culture has influenced music, art and fashion over the years
Oh yeah, like the music in the mid 1900's about surfing in California and all that.
Yes.  It is interesting that people can actually surf in rivers and lakes too
Oh really? How can they do that?
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.
The term "surfing"
the programme on BBC Three in June 2008.
When asked about whether there would be a second series, Lilley stated, "I never thought about it in the beginning because it was always a one-off thing. I'm not into just cashing in and rolling off into a second series that is not as good. I really enjoyed making the show, so the thought of writing and going back there again is really fun and exciting, but I haven't made a decision on what to do next."
