Surf-riding, in English, means riding the wave. It is usually practiced on the ocean's edge, on big waves, but not always. This leisure activity is an integral part of certain Pacific cultures such as Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures, where it existed before modern times.
Although it has become popular worldwide since Polynesia in the 20th century, the discipline of surfing also existed in certain regions of Africa, Australia, or Peru. The general meaning of "surfing" encompasses all practices on a surfboard, whether standing, sitting, kneeling, or lying down.
