Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or deep face of a moving wave, which is usually carrying the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or in rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore. However, surfers can also utilize artificial waves such as those from boat wakes and the waves created in artificial wave pools.
The term surfing refers to the act of riding a wave, regardless of whether the wave is ridden with a board or without a board, and regardless of the stance used (goofy or regular stance). The native peoples of the Pacific, for instance, surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such craft, and did so on their belly and knees. The actual modern-day definition of surfing, however, most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing up on a surfboard; this is also referred to as stand-up surfing.
Another prominent form of surfing is body boarding, when a surfer rides a wave on a bodyboard, either lying on their belly, drop knee, or sometimes even standing up on a body board. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surf matting (riding inflatable mats), and using foils. Body surfing, where the wave is surfed without a board, using the surfer's own body to catch and ride the wave, is very common and is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing.

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.
