I really love to surf for a living, Some call me the surfing expert, What can I tell you about the lifestyle of surfing? 
is it hard to learn?
Well it is just basically riding on the forward or deep face of a large wave, which usually moves a surfer towards the shore most of the time. 
dont you have to have a lot of balance or coordination?
Well it takes time, You can try Bodyboarding, I know that its an ancient form of riding waves on your belly and its pretty easy.
that sounds like fun! do you have to have a special board for that?
Yep, A bodyboarding is a short, rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam. much smaller than a surfboard.
