This document discusses what is needed to go surfing, including different types of waves, surfboards, and accessories. The most important thing needed is waves, which come in all sizes from small to large. Recreational surfers prefer small waves. To enjoy the waves available, surfers need different boards and devices depending on conditions. Accessories like fins allow surfers to swim faster and catch waves earlier to ride the shoulder. Bodyboarding can be done in small waves and allows beginners and kids to enjoy riding waves. Fins, boards, and other gear help surfers have fun in the water even without large waves.
