The practice of surfing requires good waves. These good conditions waves can be acquired only by good winds or waves, which can vary spots (see Surf Spot). They are three major kinds of waves:
* Waves hollow
* Waves moles
* Waves little wave (which could be described as flat)
The waves are hollow favorite shortboarders but also users of mini malibu. The waves are hollow waves the most powerful but not necessarily the largest. Indeed, some waves that can be described as hollow do not exceed 1 m 50 but by their form, they are much more powerful than soft wave of the same size.
