Surfing is a wonderful sport that is popular in basically any beach area.
We have some good surfing locations here in the UK. I've never tried it myself. Have you? 
I have never gone surfing. I live in Florida, US. It is usually associated with Huntington, California and Hawaii.
Is surfing not popular in Florida then? We only tend to surf on the south coast. The conditions there are better. 
Not as big as those other areas. It is very big in Indonesia, too., which has 13,000 islands.
I've heard that before. Although I didn't Know it was popular with surfers. Australia is meant to be popular too. 
Australia seems like they'd have good surfers. The surfboard apparently is very light.
I think they have to be so they can float easily. I should imagine if they were heavy it would be difficult to move them as quickly as they do. 
That makes sense. Apparently good surfers use boat waves to gain advantage in the water.
What are boat waves?
