Surfing...
This is one sport that has always appealed to me. It is an art and looks so beautiful when being done properly. Surfing stands for surface water sport, and is performed on waves on some sort or another. The waves do not always have to be salt water, in fact many waves are found in fresh water along meandering rivers. It seems as if the most known early accounts of surfing took place in Hawaii, when the Chief position in the tribe went to the person who was the most impressive on the waves. Also respect was giving to neighboring tribes that had impressive surfers as well, but the best boards made from the lightest/strongest boards was giving to the tribe that had the dominant riders. It seems as if surfing is a culture in its own. The followers of surfing live by a different lifestyle, and approach life from different angles. Not to mention they have there own lingo, "gnarly man" or "Snake". Either way it's an extreme sport I plan on participating in.
