Surfing, which started in Western beach cultures like Hawaii and California, is now a popular sport in Korea too. This emoji is used with the positive meaning of coolly overcoming the difficult waves of life.

Surfing is a sport where you entrust yourself to the flow of nature, symbolizing a 'go with the flow' attitude. Try using it when you've resolved a complex problem by following its natural course or successfully ridden a wave of change. Conversely, it can also be used to express feeling overwhelmed by waves of work.
