Surfing is the sport of riding waves upright on a surfboard.

It is usually done on ocean shores.

There are sites, called spots, well-known to surfers, which are good areas for catching waves.

So, where was surfing first practiced?

Surfing’s roots go back to the 15th century in the Hawaiian islands in Polynesia.

Heads of tribes proved their strength by braving the ocean on long wooden boards.
