Surfing on land in amazing style
When you walk on the city street, you may find such a “creepy” scene: people hold their arms out and swing their bodies around with bent knees. No worries. They’re just a group of surfskaters (陆冲玩家) practicing surfing on land.
Since this summer, surfskating has become popular among all ages in China. It became a trendy topic on many online platforms (平台), such as Xiaohongshu and Sina Weibo. On the short-video platform Douyin, posts hashtagged (话题标签为) “surfskate” had over 150 million views by August, according to China Daily.
“We thought surfskating would be popular someday but we didn’t expect that day would come so soon,” Li Dezhi told China Daily. Li, a supplier for the Chinese market of YOW, a Spanish surfskate brand, started selling YOW boards five years ago. “We think COVID-19 has sped up its popularity because the pandemic affected many outdoor activities like skiing and surfing (冲浪). Surfskating became a fun alternative (替代物).”
“You can see an increasing number of people of almost all ages practicing surfskating in a wide space inside the community I live in, “ said Ma Yuan from Beijing.
Once a surfing fan, Ma started surfskating a few months ago. “I knew about surfskating from social media and decided to give it a try. It was easier than I thought,” said Ma.
“Besides, surfskating needs a lot less equipment (装备) compared with many other sports. I can start skating at a random (任意的) place and all I need is a board.”
Ma joined a WeChat group set up by other surfskate lovers. “It could be very helpful in learning and socializing (社交), as the group organizer often talks about gatherings (聚会). We also invite people we like to hang out with. I really enjoy the community atmosphere (氛围).”
