Sixty first- and second-year students from the Department of Military Science at Dongmyung University recently experienced surfing education around the Songjeong area as part of their summer training.


Since the department trains officers for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, they selected the marine sport of surfing as a method to overcome the fear of water.


Student Oh Myung-woo said, “I broadened my horizons through surfing, which is difficult to access without financial and time support,” adding, “Additionally, it helped strengthen my physical fitness while fostering unity with seniors, juniors, and peers.”
