There are numerous varieties of surfing, each with its own special challenges and experiences: Regular Surfing: A surfer uses a surfboard, either a longboard or a shortboard, to ride ocean waves in this conventional kind of surfing. Longboarding: Longboards are longer and wider than regular surfboards, which provides stability and makes it easier to catch waves. They are perfect for novices and have a sleek, fashionable feel. Shortboarding: Because shortboards are smaller and easier to manoeuvre, skilled surfers may execute more daring and high-performance tricks. Surfers who face big waves, which frequently reach heights of 20 to 100 feet or more, need specialized gear and highly developed skills. Tow-in surfing is the practice of employing a boat or jet ski to pull surfers into very high waves that are otherwise impossible to catch by paddling. Surfers who practice stand-up paddle (SUP) surfing combine elements of surfing and paddling by standing while using a paddle and a larger board to catch waves. Bodyboarding: Surfers often lie on their stomachs while they surf waves on a small, rectangular board known as a bodyboard. River surfing is the practice of surfing on still river waves, which can be found in some places with powerful river currents. Surfing and sailing are combined in wind surfing, which uses a sail that is linked to the board for propulsion.

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.
