Sufing ( by Malena Ferreira)

The sport that I like, and I love to practice is surfing. 
Surfing begins when the surfer paddles toward shore in an attempt to match the speed of the wave. Once the wave begins to carry the surfer forward, the surfer stands up and proceeds to ride the wave. The basic idea is to position the surfboard so it is just ahead of the breaking part (white water) of the wave.
A common problem for beginners is being able to catch the wave at all.

Famous surfing locations:  

Bells Beach (Victoria, Australia)

Jeffreys Bay (Eastern Cape, South Africa)

 La Libertad (El Salvador, Central America)

 Mavericks (California, U.S.A.)

 Pipeline (Hawaii, U.S.A.)

 Teahupoʻo (Tahiti)

 Zicatela Beach (Mexican Pipeline)

 Costa da Caparica (Almada, Portugal)

 Chicama(La Libertad-Peru)

  The tube ride is considered to be the ultimate maneuver in surfing. As a wave breaks, if the conditions are ideal, the wave will break in an orderly line from the middle to the shoulder, enabling the experienced surfer to position him / her self actually inside the wave as it is breaking.

 Typical surfing instruction is best performed one-on-one, but can also be done in a group setting. The most popular surf locations offer perfect surfing conditions for beginners, as well as challenging breaks for advanced students.
