Surfers compete in this sport by riding waves
Surfers compete in this sport by riding waves that may reach heights of 60 to 80 feet (and higher) (Beal et al. 2010). This kind of surfing is mostly determined by the rider's ability to surf, as opposed to traditional surfing, which contains tricks. The criteria are biggest wave surfed, most critical drop, and making the wave, and they are included into a point scoring system (Partington et al. 2009). The psychology of these athletes is more complex than that of athletes in other general sports, such as the pressure of a football penalty kick, since this activity carries significant risks that may lead to death or near-death experiences (Palmer 2002). Despite the fact that these athletes are fighting against their natural fear response, the extreme sport lifestyle has been acknowledged as a positive mental attitude (Brymer and Oades 2012). Because surfing is a life-threatening activity, training in the water requires ongoing dedication to surfing the areas where waves are found. This implies that competition and training are both quite risky (Partington et al. 2009).
