I don’t know what water board sports are all about, but it turns out they are a lot of fun and very addictive. It may be due to the unique challenge found in each board sport that makes it alluring. It may be due to the natural attraction that humans have for water, be it a lake, a river or an ocean. Or it may be just being outdoors that makes millions of people each year want to jump into the water with their different types of boards.

Here is a list of the different types of board sports that we can all enjoy during the summer months, unless you are lucky and live somewhere warm.

Surfing – This board sport is the most popular and most challenging of all board sports. Once you master this sport it is very fun and very addictive. This sport has been mainstream for quite some time and the best athletes in this sport earn millions of dollars every year from sponsors and competitions. If you have never tried surfing, you owe it to yourself to try it once in your life.

Bodyboarding/Boogie Boarding: Bodyboards are much smaller than a surfboard and are made of fiberglass or wood. Riding a bodyboard is also very different from a surfboard. Instead of trying to stand up on the board, you lie on your stomach and paddle with your feet, usually with fins, which works better for speed. Also unlike surfing, body boarders try to catch waves that are closer to shore instead of paddling into the waves. Bodyboarding has also become a mainstream sport in the last two decades.

Skimboarding – This sport is a lot of fun and challenging, but it has yet to break into the mainstream sports arena. The skimboard consists of a board halfway between a surfboard (without fins) and a bodyboard. And instead of paddling your board out to the ocean like surfing or body boarding, you run your board across the sand, then, at the right moment, drop your board and slide across the sand into the waves and hopefully, you catch a wave with your board. before you annihilate yourself. Skimboarding is an excellent and extremely fun sport that almost anyone can try at almost any age.

Wakeboarding – This sport is usually a lake sport that involves a boat pulling you up and dragging you in much the same way as water skiing, except the board looks more like a snowboard and body board than to a pair of water skis. This sport can be challenging at first, but stick with it and once you’ve mastered the art of getting on the board, it’s great!
