Surfing is a sport where individuals ride either down or along the face of an ocean wave using a board. Surfers use boards between 6 feet (short board) and 12 feet (long board) long, which are often made of fiberglass foam or wood. Short boards are used for large waves, while long boards are used for small waves. Surfing competitions involve individuals performing tricks while riding waves, with a panel of judges awarding points based on technique and style.
