i surf everyday.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or deep face of a moving wave, which is usually carrying the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or in rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore. However, surfers can also utilize artificial waves such as those from boat wakes and the waves created in artificial wave pools. The term \"surfing\" refers to the act of riding a wave, regardless of whether the wave is ridden with a board or without a board, and regardless of the stance used. The native peoples of the Pacific, for instance, surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such craft, and did so on their belly and knees. The modern-day definition of surfing, however, most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing up on a surfboard; this is also referred to as stand-up surfing. Another prominent form of surfing is body boarding, when a surfer rides a wave on a bodyboard, either lying on their belly, drop knee, or sometimes even standing up on a body board. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surf matting (riding inflatable mats), and using foils.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I've been thinking about learning how to surf. Do you surf? How worried should I really be about rip currents or undertows?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Surfing is so much fun! If you're worried about those things, you could always try surfing in a lake or river!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wait, really? I had no idea that was even possible. Would I still be able to say hang loose and other cool surfer dude terms?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Haha! Of course! You have to! People who surf in lakes and rivers often utilize the wake caused by boats or artificial wave pools."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh yeaahhh I could do one of those indoor wave pools actually, that's a good point! No currents to take me away and drown me..."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly! While you're learning, you may want to start by lying on the board to get the feel of it. Then try kneeling before you stand. That might help!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would definitely look silly out there at first, I know that. Can I customize my surfboard to look any way I want?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, you can! You can even add extra fins to the bottom of the board to improve directional stability!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Haha, is there a fin to keep me from falling off the thing? I think that might be more relevant for me at first."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I don't know about that but if all else fails, you can always try knee boarding or surf matting! Surf matting is riding inflatable mats - that sounds really fun!"}]
