I enjoy surfing with artificial waves.
Surfing is interesting! I've never been. How do you surf artificial waves?
Well since I am not near an ocean, I have to utilize the wake from a boat in a lake or artificial waves in a wave pool.
I see! I know people who use a wave pool for wakeboarding. How long have you been surfing?
Only for a couple years, not near as long as the  native peoples of the Pacific. They surfed waves on alaia, paipo
Wow! I bet they have been surfing for a while. I bet it takes a lot of skill to surf!
It is not easy and involves riding a wave, regardless of whether the wave is ridden with a board or without a board
oh! I didn't know you could ride without a board! I see lots of movies where people are surfing in California!
Knee boarding and surf matting are also pretty fun.
Awesome! Is surf matting a new invention?
