Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer (or two
in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face,
of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the
shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but
can also be found in standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers
in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools. The term surfing refers to
a person riding a wave using a board, regardless of the stance. There are
several types of boards. Ancient cultures often surfed on their belly and
knees, while the modern-day definition of surfing most often refers to a
surfer riding a wave standing on a surfboard; this is also referred to as
stand-up surfing.
