Answer 1

Hicimos surf

Surfeamos

Practicamos surf

They are all possible answers

Answer 2

I agree with Hacer Surf = to surf

Paralee has made flashcards which correspond to one of her lessons -I forget exactly which one and it says

Hacer Surf =to surf Hacer Snowboard = to snowboard Hacer el mono patinaje = to skateboard Hacer patinaje de hielos = to ice skate Hacer artes martiales =to do/practise martial arts

These are just some examples

Benz is correct too you can say Surfeamos = we surf practicamos surf = we practise surfing
