Are you tired of just sitting on the beach and watching people enjoy? Most people love to sit on the beach while some who love adventure venture into the sea and enjoy some water sports. There are many kinds of water sports but the most common water sport is surfing. Surfing is a water sport where the rider rides the surface of the water and waves. Hence, surfing is just not about standing on the surf board but balance and keeping your body in rhythm with the waves and the intensity with which waves normally hit you. However, surfing has been diverted into various other styles and therefore you see that not everywhere people look out for a big sea to get their surf boards. Additionally, their equipments change as per the requirement of the surfing style they prefer.

If you are not so sure about standing up on the surf board than try bodyboarding also known as boogieboarding. Bodyboarding is almost like surfing where people use a small rectangular board which is made up of hydrodynamic foam so that you can keep on floating even if you are hit by a strong wave. A lot of beginners prefer to go for boogieboarding instead of surfing because they can lie down on the board and enjoy the waves and all the water sport activities that they are missing.

Many people often mix up bodyboarding with bodysurfing but the fact is that both these sports are different from each other to some extent. In bodyboarding the surfers do use a board on which they can float but in case of bodysurfing surfers do not use any floating equipment except swim fins that they use for propulsion. Bodysurfing is comparatively tougher than the bodyboarding because you really need to have control on your body and your body movements in order to get the right position so that you can move ahead with the waves. Bodysurfing is also known as big wave surfing in some parts of United States.

Kitesurfing or kiteboarding is a modified version of surfing where surfers enjoy the combination of water and air but if you are a beginner than it is advisable that you perform kitesurfing only under supervision because kitesurfing can be really dangerous if you are not sure on how to handle the kite attached to your surf board. Generally strong powerful winds are needed to enjoy kitesurfing but if you are unable to handle your kite board than the wind might take you off and injure you.

Lake surfing is just another style of surfing where people prefer to surf on the strong waves that develop in bigger lakes around their locality. Lake surfing is comparatively safer than sea surfing where you might get drown or carried away by strong winds and waves. In the United States a lot of people enjoy lake surfing in the lakes nearby their county. Wisconsin is the favorite state for all lake surfing lovers as it hosts the annual Dairyland Surf Classic every year.
