Surfing isa sport that consists of standing on a board and riding a wave, performing maneuvers or turns depending on your level and the possibilities offered by the different types of waves. The first texts that mention surfing date back to the 18th century in the Hawaiian Islands. In Galicia, it has been practiced by minorities since the 1960s, reaching great popularity in recent times.
The main difficulties encountered by beginners are choosing the right equipment and finding the right spot to start.
Another difficulty that arises is adapting to the environment, as we must not forget that our natural environment is terrestrial and it takes some time to adapt to the aquatic environment with waves, currents, etc.
