This is the heart-pounding thrill of surfing, a sport that’s not just about balance and skill, but about reading the ocean and respecting its power. Now a full-medal Olympic sport, surfing has captivated the world with its blend of athleticism and artistry. Get ready to dive deep into how this ancient pastime became an Olympic spectacle, what it takes to ride the world’s most challenging waves, and how a winner is crowned in this ultimate test of skill.
