A brief review of the history of surfing shows that it originated in Hawaii. Part of the ancient Polynesian culture, the sport was enjoyed primarily by the native Hawaiians. They used wooden boards and enjoyed the feeling of being one with the ocean. Royalty in particular used large boards, and the skill of riding the waves was considered a symbol of authority. Later, in the 19th century, Westerners visited Hawaii and the surfing culture began to spread outward, and in the 20th century, surfing developed mainly in California, where lightweight boards were introduced and surfing became an established sport. Today, surfing is enjoyed around the world as a competitive sport, and advances in technology and design have greatly expanded the range of performance. The evolution of surfing has never stopped, and the ancient spirit of the sport lives on.

For beginners who want to start surfing, the first important thing is balance and basic posture. To ride the waves smoothly, it is essential to practice lying face down on the board and paddling forward. The key is to keep your weight in the center of the board and keep both legs straight and buoyant. The next important thing is when to catch the wave. When a wave arrives, paddle hard and with speed, let the board ride the wave. Then, repeat the exercise to stand up. When standing up, place your front foot near the center of the board and your back foot slightly behind. Bend your knees slightly and keep your eyes forward for stability. Starting with small waves is the safest way to enjoy surfing, so don't be in a hurry to practice. Once you master the basics while understanding the characteristics of the wave, you will be able to enjoy surfing more.
