Australia is a big country, but nearly all Australians live near the sea. On hot
summer days you can see thousands of people at the beach. Many beaches have waves
that are very high. These large waves are known as surf and the people who ride them are
called surfers. Surfing is a skill and needs learning. Don't expect to be able to surf
properly the first time you try. However, by practicing a few time you will learn how to
do it.
Surfing is not a new sport. Perhaps its origins need explaining. It started hundreds
of years ago in Hawaii. Men swam out to sea to catch fish and found they could come
back to land very quickly by riding the waves. These first surfers did not use a board.
They were "body surfers". Many people still do this type of surfing today.
After a while people started to use boards and rode the waves by lying, kneeling or
standing on them. These first surf-boards were made of wood and the water made them
not after a while. Today surfboards are made of plastic or fiberglass instead.
