Skurfing is a popular surface watersport in which the participant is towed on a surfboard, behind a boat, with a ski rope. Skurfing is highly popular in the state of W.A in Australia and in many other places in the world. Unlike most other watersports where the participant is towed, Skurfing is not a professional sport and has no official competitions, it is a free style sport with highly individualistic style and form. There are no defined styles or conventions rather it is about personal style.

The word is a contraction of skiing ( water skiing ) and surfing.

There are no set rules, tricks, or techniques; only emphasis on a fluid and surf-like execution of a course. Trucks are kept small near "slalom" standards to allow for easier spins and control. The usual terrain is a mix of steep grades with banked driveways. Surfing
