What is "big wave surfing"?
Big wave surfing is a type of surfing where surfers ride large, powerful waves, often reaching heights of 20 feet or more. Surfers use special boards that are longer and more durable to handle the size and strength of the waves. The challenge of big wave surfing is not only the size of the waves but also the speed and force of the water. Surfers must have strong skills in controlling their board and staying safe in dangerous conditions. This type of surfing is typically done in locations known for producing huge waves, like Hawaii or California. It is a thrilling and extreme form of the sport.
