What is Surfing?
A ride on a wooden or plastic board on an ocean or sea wave to shore: The art of surfing. There is nothing more liberating than that, if you ask a surfer. Surfing truly is a culture of its own.
As diverse as this culture is, as diverse is the sport itself. There is belly surfing, knee surfing, stand-up surfing, there is bodyboarding and there is a distinction between shortboard surfing and longboard surfing. There are many types of boards used in surfing. And like with most water sports, choosing the right spot is key to a fun session.

Never miss your wind conditions again!
The wave height, wave direction and wave period are important factors for surfing. The wind direction and speed is also important for the shape of the wave. Offshore wind is usually preferred as it straightens up the wave. Be aware of currents, as they might change quickly. High and low tide also affect wave quality at a lot of spots.
