Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or broken part of a wave, which is usually doing so on a surfboard. Surfing arose as a native Hawaiian practice and has since developed into a popular recreational activity as well as a major sport worldwide. The global surfing board market has seen steady growth over the years driven especially by tourism across coastal regions and rising participation from women and other demographics. Along with technological advancements in board design for varied skill levels, an active community of surf enthusiasts continues to propel the sector.
