Surfing is a sport where athletes ride waves in the ocean. The goal of any surfer is to stand up on their surfboard so they can ride the wave for as long as possible. Bodysurfing is where athletes use only their body to ride the wave. Both can be difficult to practice because of the unpredictability of the ocean. That is why it is advised to get lessons before paddling out by yourself. Lessons can range from about $50 to $125, depending on whether or not you are by yourself or with a group. Lessons will typically teach people how to pick a board, how to maneuver with it, and how to spot the perfect wave to ride. Professional organizations such as the World Surfing League hold competitions that display the talents of the best surfers around the world.
