What are the major differences between surfing and skiing?
Skiing is carried out on snow or plastic ski slopes and uses to two long thin narrow ski's that a skier would wear on each foot. The skier would have to be wearing ski boots to wear the skis. Skiers would have two poles to help them push themselves on the snow and would also be clothed appropriately for the sport. Surfers use a long wide board that is quite wide and long, the board is able to be laid upon, this could not be done with skis. Surfers would surf on water and attempt to ride waves, this is something a skier could not do. Surfers wear wet suits or shorts and do not normally wear anything on their feet.

How is fluid friction related to surfing?
Fluid friction, also known as drag, plays a critical role in surfing as it affects the resistance the surfboard experiences while moving through the water. Surfers use techniques to minimize fluid friction, such as positioning themselves on the wave to reduce drag and increase speed. Understanding fluid dynamics helps surfers optimize their performance by navigating the ocean more efficiently.
Why is there surfing slang?
When surfers are talking to each other it's hard to use the Queen's English to explain things. It's much quicker to say 'reef break' than 'wave that breaks over a reef', it's universally understood by all surfers when you say 'it was really going off when the offshore came and cleaned up' and is much quicker than saying 'at the beach the conditions were wonderful when the wind that blew from the west made the waves cleaner'. It's just like algebra - shortening and simplifying. Also, surfing is now considered a culture, so it is seemly that it has its own language.
Buying the Perfect Surfboard?
Surfers across the world are always looking for the perfect board, and the surfboard your choose should be a reflection of your size and surfing goals. Smaller surfers obviously need smaller boards, but the size of your board will also depend on the type of surfing you want to do. Read on for information on a few types of boards and how to find the best one for you. Surfboards that are less than seven feet in length are called shortboards, and they are best for aggressive surfers who want to rip through waves. Because of the manner in which shortboards are used, they are best for experienced surfers. Longboards, on the other hand, are greater than seven feet long. They are great for beginner surfers because they can be controlled more easily. Longboards are meant to be used in small to medium-sized waves. One of the mistakes novice surfers make it buying a board that is beyond their skill level. There's no reason to opt for the best surfboard on the market if you can't properly use it. A foam longboard is really all any beginner needs. It is important to note that the size of the surfer can drastically change the size of the board you need. A very small beginner surfer can get away with a six-foot board, or even smaller, even though that is technically characterized as a shortboard. Larger riders can go as long as nine feet or more. Think about the type of waves you plan to ride. In addition to their height, consider the speed. For slow waves, a longer, thicker board is probably better. Longer and thicker boards provide more paddling power, and they can also give more speed in slow waves. If you plan to surf in big waves and want to perform a lot of turns, look for a wide board. Lastly, consider other features, such as the surfboard's leash. A leash is needed for all beginner and intermediate surfers.

Why do people surf for fitness?
honestly, i laugh at people that surf purely for fitness. we surf because we love it, it is not a sport, it is a way of life that you grow up with. i surf because it gives me adrenaline while i dont surf to get fit, it does make you fit, my upper arm strength is booming, my balence is perfected, i can do 400 lbs leg press (from 150), and i can paddle out during the hardest biggest days. but surfing just to get fit is a waste of time, you gota love it enough to get it right Surfing can be a great form of exercise--like any form of movement. But it is tough to use surfing for a consistent form of training because waves and swells are not consistent. Days can go by--even weeks--where the surfing spots are completely flat (no waves breaking). Something like stand up paddle surfing is good since you can do it in almost any condition and it doesn't require consistent breaking surf. But traditional surfing lacks the well-roundedness of a typical training program. That is why most surfers end up supplementing their surfing with some form of cross-training.
