Surfing

People have surfed for hundreds of years. Surfing started in some islands in the Pacific Ocean. The waves in these islands were very high. First people lay on top of the waves. Then they made surfboards from wood, and stood on them.

The first surfboards were very big. Now surfboards are short and light. They are about two metres long.

The most famous surfer was from Hawaii. He was called Duke Kahanamoku. In 1915 he surfed in Australia. Then other people started surfing in HAWAII Australia, too. Today people 0 surf in many different countries.

Surfers need lots of high waves. Most surfers would rather surf in sunny weather than in cold, rainy weather. Most surfers like to surf in Hawaii, but people surf in cold countries, too. In England it is often cold and wet in the winter, but you can see people surfing on some beaches in December and January.

Surfers need wet suits in cold weather. These wet suits are rubber, and they keep you warm and dry under the water.
