Waves and waves are the most common in the sea, but waves, boat wakes, and tides made by mechanical means are also used for surfing. What Are The Physics of Surfing? When you surf, some forces work. The forces of gravity and buoyancy are working together. Gravity is pulling down the surfboard. Buoyancy is pushing it up. Which power is greater? It depends on the material density of the surfboard. As you can guess, the materials used on surfboards today are much lighter and less dense than the wooden materials used in the past. Surfing boards are also less dense than water overall. This is what allows them to float in the first place! Of course,...
