Surfing is a surface water sport in which the surfer rides a surfboard on the crest and face of a wave, which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are found primarily in the ocean, but are also sometimes found in lakes and rivers, and also in manmade wave pools.
Many variations of the sport may exist in certain areas and the definitions of what constitutes a suitable wave, and craft has expanded over the years. Bodysurfing involves riding the wave without a board, and is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing. Other variations that have existed for centuries include paipo boarding, stand up paddle surfing, and the use of boats or canoes to ride waves. More modern craft that are used include bodyboards, inflatable mats (surfmatting), and foils. As documented in various surfing documentaries (including "Fair Bits") other objects have occasionally been used instead of surfboards, including water skiis, wakeboards, desks, guitars, and doors. When more than one person uses the same craft to ride a wave together, it is known as "tandem" surfing.
Alana Rene Blanchard (born March 5, 1990) is an American professional surfer. At 22 years of age, Blanchard has gained fame as "one of the best female surfers." Alana surfs on the ASP World Tour. Alana is involved in designing Rip Curl bikinis. She is best friends with fellow surfer Bethany Hamilton, and was present when Hamilton suffered the shark attack that cost her an arm. She is played by actress Lorraine Nicholson in the 2011 film Soul Surfer.

Abandona pronto este lugar
porque s que en poco tiempo va a estallar.
Nadie sabe lo que pasar
cuando el caos queme hoy la ciudad.
Y que haremos cuando empiece la funcin,
si las cosas ya superan la ficcin.
Rock and roll, dime tu,
para vos, es cara o cruz.
Nadie puede respirar aqu,
ni me acuerdo de los sueos que dej.
Cmo se hace para caminar
si los pies estn hundidos en el fango.
Ya no acepto que manejen mi razn,
ya no quiero contener mi corazn.
Rock and roll, dime tu,
para vos, es cara o cruz.
Esta noche no podr dormir,
aunque igual la pesadilla hoy es aqu.
Somos hijos de una sociedad
que no tiene corazn para nada.
Y no s cmo salir de esta friccin;
y me pierdo por las calles a gritar:
Rock and roll, dime tu,
para vos, es cara o cruz.
