Informative Speech About Surfing Research
Introduction:
My name is Kimberly and I want to introduce you to this wonderful sport of surfing and hopefully inspire you to give it a try.
I first started coming to Ventura in the 1970’s when my Aunt and Uncle lived here and my Aunt owned a Beauty Shop on the corner of Seaward and Pierpont. I moved here in 1988.

If you are a snowboarder or skateboarder, you already know what to do once you stand up. Remember it will be harder in the ocean because you will be moving and the water is moving.
The closest thing I can compare surfing to would be, riding a horse; you are constantly moving with the water and making
