 THE SURF
Question: is surfing a sport?
1. INTRODUCTION

HOOK: Surfing is now a sociological phenomenon because it has adapted to

contemporary society in such a way that it is becoming a sport whose cultural influence
extends beyond the beach.

THESIS STATEMENT: surfing is not only a sport, but it is also associated with the
practice in nature, so it can be risky for not taking the necessary precautions, however,
the number of injuries in surfing is not very large

WORDS OR IDEAS:
-SURFING nowadays.
- surfing is associated with practice in nature
- Sport can be risky by not taking the necessary precautions

2. BODY

First surfing today is not only a sport, but it is a very complex industrial, economic and
social reality, which has developed from a millenarian, a priori so simple practice,

directing it thanks to a pair of keels the same which are located on the back of the
board.

Second, while it is true that surfing is associated with practice in nature and, the general
collective imagination reminds us that its habitat is the ocean, this reality has been mutating,
reaching different places such as, for example, lakes or rivers. Even the most traditional surfing
depended on the intuition and interpretation of the sea by surfers, who through observation had
to intuit the future presence of the waves

Finally, the sport can be risky by not taking the necessary precautions (such as always
watching a wave before balancing it or giving way to someone closer to the circuit
breaker). However, the amount of injuries in surfing is not large, and the use of
"invention" can prevent the falling board from the owner from hitting others.

3. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, surfing is an aquatic sport that consists of riding the waves to land on a
device called a surfboard and attracts so many people in such an intense way that for
them surfing is the central axis of their life and the rest of the activity revolves around
wave seasons, wind and sea. Some personal feelings, almost mystical, relate to the
thousands of people who share the lifestyle that surfing brings
