This will include a lot of information from waves to the dangers of surfing. But maybe the things that you thought were easy, such as finding a right wave won't sound so easy when you're done.
What kind of waves do surfers look for?

What makes a great surfing wave?
● The wave formation.
● The wind speed can affect how big the wave is.
● The more area that the wind affects, the larger wave.

● So, wind can really effect the way you surf.

What are the dangers of surfing?
· Marine Life is a huge danger. Especially sharks, because when they look at surfers from below, they look like fish to them
· Another danger is drowning. It’s really scary because there are many different possibilities of you drowning. Such as, getting separated from your board, getting tangled in seaweed, and getting stuck in a reef.
· So, remember, always go surfing with a friend or somebody that can look over you.
