Have you ever been surfing? I did it alot when I was younger, I had a 6ft board but now I'm just afraid to go past waist deep in the water!
Yeah, surfing is great! Surfing waves are usually found in the ocean, but if you're afraid of deep water, they can also be found in lakes and rivers. Like standing waves, or tidal bores!
Oh wow I had no idea you could in lakes and rivers. I live in Florida so the beach is accessible!
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"
Aida Edemariam, of "The Guardian", Winton says about surfing "I can afford to blow the morning off and go for a surf. I think, 'oh god, I'm nearly 50, you know? If I can get another 10 or 15 years of surfing - that's fine. I've worked hard, I tell myself, as I'm throwing the board in the car. I owe it to myself. A bit of water over the gills. That's my reward. I'm happier
