用法筆記

The -ing form (windsurfing) is very common and appears in patterns such as 'go windsurfing' (to do the activity for enjoyment) and 'Windsurfing is…' (referring to the sport in general). The base form is intransitive and never takes a direct object — you windsurf *on* or *in* a body of water, not *it*.
