Water sports

Water sports have existed since prehistoric times. Swimming is a very basic activity, known to most all cultures. With the advancements in our technology have also come a variety of other options for enjoying the water. Today we can snorkel and engage in diving from planks as well as deep within the ocean. We now even enjoy underwater hockey and underwater photography.

The water activities which this Web site is concerned with are performed on the surface. There are two main categories that surface water sports fall under. The first is towed water sports, where participants are towed behind a boat. These include discing, skiing, skurfing, wakeboarding, towed hydrofoiling and tubing.

The second category of water sports is where the participant relies on natural forces for propulsion. These include bodyboarding, surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, and hydrofoil sailing.

With all surface water sports it is very important to have a good life preserver. One that fits well with plenty of buckles is ideal.
