'''Surfing''' is the art of riding waves. Invented by the Polynesians, today it is practiced by millions of surfers around the globe. One of the most popular regions for surfing is California. The state has a number of world-class breaks, starting in the [[Directory:San Francisco|San Francisco]] area and extending all the way down into northern Baja Mexico. The surf forecast for California this weekend is supposed to be pretty big as a northwestern storm system approaches the coast. While the surf is not expected to be quite as big as last year's ''rather large Wednesday'' (December 21, 2005), it is expected to pack quite a punch.

==Surf Culture==
Surf culture originated early in the 20th century hitting it's peak popularity during the 1950s and 1960s. It continues to evolve, spread, and grow to this day. The basis of surf culture involves the hunt for great waves, the love of surfing, and life in and around the ocean, as well as multiple other ways in which surfing might affect parts of a devotee's life. This may include fashion, music preferences, literature, films, jargon, etc. In addition, localism or territorialism is often large part of surf culture. Today, surfers come from all walks of life and from nearly every coastline where waves break in the world, making them difficult to stereotype.
