Water sports are very popular around the world , especially in countries with long coastlines and beautiful oceans . Many people love the feeling of being in the water and enjoying the fresh air . Two of the most famous water sports are surfing and sailing . Both sports are exciting but they offer very different experiences for people who want to stay active . Surfing is a sport where you stand on a special board and ride on waves . It started a long time ago in places like Hawaii and later became popular everywhere . To be a good surfer , you need to have good balance and strong legs . You also need to understand the ocean and how waves move . Many beginners start by taking lessons at a surf school . When you learn to surf , the first thing you do is practice on the sand . You learn how to lie on the board and how to stand up quickly . This movement is called a pop - up . After you feel comfortable on the sand , you go into the water with your instructor . At first , you try to catch small waves that are close to the shore . Safety is very important in surfing . Surfers always wear a leash , which is a rope that connects their leg to the board . This way , if they fall off , the board does not float away . In cold water , surfers also wear wetsuits made of rubber to keep their bodies warm . It is a great way to exercise and enjoy nature at the same time . Sailing is another wonderful water sport , but it is very different from surfing . In sailing , you use a boat and the power of the wind to move across the water . Sailing boats come in many different sizes . Some are small and can only hold one person , while others are very large and need a whole team to operate them . To sail a boat , you must understand how the wind works . The wind hits the sails and pushes the boat forward . Sailors use a rudder to steer the boat in the right direction . It takes a lot of practice to learn how to change the position of the sails when the wind changes its direction . This is a very important skill for every sailor . Many people enjoy sailing because it is peaceful . You can travel long distances without a noisy engine . You only hear the sound of the wind and the water hitting the boat . It is also a very social sport . People often go sailing with their friends or family and work together to manage the boat safely . Sailing also requires special equipment to stay safe . Everyone on a boat should wear a life jacket , even if they are good swimmers . It is also important to check the weather forecast before leaving the shore . If the wind is too strong or there is a storm , it can be dangerous to be out on the open sea .
