Young Surfing Girl

An artificial reef known as Chevron Reef, was constructed in El Segundo, California in hopes creating a new surfing area. However, the project was a failure, and the reef failed to produce any quality waves .
Surfers represent a diverse culture based on riding the waves. Some people practice surfing as a recreational activity while others make it the central focus their lives. Within the United States, surfing culture is most dominant in California, Florida and Hawaii. Some historical markers the culture included the woodie, the station wagon used to carry surfers' boards, as well as boardshorts, the long swim suits typically worn while surfing.
The sport surfing now represents a multi-billion dollar industry especially in clothing and fashion markets. Some people make a career out surfing by receiving corporate sponsorships.
