Highlights
  • Weligama - A surf activity refers to the act of participating in surfing, which involves riding waves using a surfboard. It encompasses all the actions and experiences related to engaging in the sport of surfing. A surf activity typically includes the following elements:\n\n1. Preparation: Before heading out into the water, participants will need to prepare themselves and their equipment. This may involve waxing the surfboard, checking the surf conditions, ensuring the appropriate safety gear is worn (such as a leash and rash guard), and selecting the appropriate surfboard based on the individual’s skill level and the conditions of the waves.\n\n2.Paddling: Paddling is an essential part of a surf activity. Surfers lie on their stomachs or kneel on the surfboard and use their arms to propel themselves through the water, navigating past breaking waves and positioning themselves in the lineup to catch waves.\n\n3. Wave Selection: Surfers analyze the waves to determine which ones are suitable for riding. Factors such as wave height, shape, power, and direction are taken into consideration when selecting waves to ride. etc..
