I really enjoy surfing down here in Florida!  Have you ever surfed?

I have tried surfing, both with a board and without a board. I'm on the mid-Atlantic, and our waves are not always great.

Yeah, I agree that the waves are not ideal.  How do you surf without a board?

It's called body surfing. It's just the act of catching a wave and riding it to shore.

Interesting!  I have never tried that before!  When was surfing created?
1_Wizard
Riding waves has probably existed for as long as humans have been swimming in the ocean! But surfboards are probably relatively new.

Do you know any well known surfers?

There's a really famous one called Dewey Weber. He was also a surfboard manufacturing businessman.
