ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

World surfing champion

Do you know what surfing is? It's when you go to the ocean and ride big waves on a special board. Now imagine there are lots of people who are really good at surfing and they compete against each other to see who is the best surfer in the whole world.

The World Surfing Champion is the person who wins this big competition. To become World Surfing Champion, surfers have to go through many smaller competitions during the year to get points. Those who get the highest points go on to the big championship competition at the end of the year.

This big championship competition is held in different countries every year, and it lasts for a few weeks. The surfers must show off their best moves while riding the waves, and their performance is judged by experts who are looking for things like technique, speed, and style.

The surfer who gets the highest scores throughout the competition is declared the winner and becomes the World Surfing Champion! It's like winning a gold medal in the Olympics, but instead of running or swimming, you're riding massive waves on a surfboard. Pretty cool, right?
