Students who 3 (surf) three or four times a week for fun can now do a degree in surfing, and make a career of it.

They both 6 (own) surfboards, but they 7 (not surf) much these days. They 8 (study) very hard for their A-levels. They 9 (know) the academic requirements for acceptance to the surfing course are high, and the course itself is also hard.
