Surfboard

A surfboard is a long, flat thing that people use to ride on waves in the ocean. It's made of special materials that make it light and strong so it can float on the water and withstand the wave's power.

The front part of the surfboard is called the "nose," while the back part is called the "tail." The bottom of the surfboard is called the "bottom," while the top of it is called the "deck."

Surfers lay down on the surfboard and use their arms to paddle out into the ocean. Once they've found a good wave, they stand up on the surfboard and ride the wave all the way back to shore.

Different surfboards can be designed for different skill levels and types of waves. Some surfboards are shorter and thinner, which makes them easier to maneuver for experienced surfers. Other surfboards are longer and wider, which makes them perfect for beginners who need more stability on the water.
