Description of this Vintage Surf Plate
Surfing is a surface sport in which an individual, the surfer, uses a board to ride the front, or face, of a moving water wave, which typically carries the surfer toward shore. Waves suitable for surfing are mainly found on ocean shores, but also in standing waves in the open sea, in lakes, in rivers in the form of tidal bores or in wave pools.
The term surfing generally refers to the action of riding a wave using a board, regardless of its position. There are several types of boards. The Moche of Peru often surfed reed boats, while indigenous peoples of the Pacific surfed alaia, paipo, and other such boats. Ancient cultures often surfed on their stomachs and knees, while the modern definition of surfing most often refers to a surfer riding a wave while standing on a surfboard; we also talk about stand-up surfing.
Another very common form of surfing is bodyboarding, where the surfer rides the wave on a bodyboard, in a prone position, in a drop knee position (one foot and one knee on the board), or sometimes even standing on a bodyboard. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surf matting (which involves riding on inflatable mattresses) and using foils. Body surfing, in which the wave is caught and ridden using the surfer's body rather than a board, is very common and is considered by some surfers to be the purest form of surfing. The closest form to body surfing using a board is the handboard, which is normally covered with a strap to fit on one hand.
The three main subdivisions of stand-up surfing are stand-up paddling, long boarding, and short boarding, with several major differences including board design and length, surfing style, and type of wave surfed.
In tow-in surfing (most commonly, but not exclusively, associated with big wave surfing), a motorized water vehicle, such as a personal watercraft, tows the surfer onto the front of the wave, thereby assisting him or her to reach the speed of a big wave, which is generally faster than a self-propelled surfer can produce. Surfing-related sports, such as paddle boarding and sea kayaking, which are self-propelled by hand paddles, do not require waves, and other derivative sports, such as kite surfing and windsurfing, rely primarily on wind for their power, but all of these platforms can also be used to ride waves. Recently, thanks to the use of V-propelled boats, wakesurfing, which consists of surfing on the wake of a boat, has emerged. In 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized that a 23.8 m (78 ft) wave ridden by Garrett McNamara in Nazaré, Portugal, was the largest wave ever surfed.
During the winter season in the northern hemisphere, the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii's third-largest island, is known for having some of the best waves in the world. Surfers from all over the world flock to beaches like Backdoor, Waimea Bay and Pipeline. However, there are still many popular surf spots around the world: Teahupo'o, located off the coast of Tahiti; Mavericks, California, United States; Cloudbreak, Tavarua Island, Fiji; Superbank, Gold Coast, Australia.
