  2. Surfing Surfing is a water sport done in the ocean or sea. The surfer uses their surfboard to catch a wave and ride towards the shore. Surfing was invented by the Polynesians at least 4000 years ago. It has become a popular sport among both men and women of all ages. With lifestyles and regimens freer than those of most sports, surfers comprise a unique culture. Surfing is popular in Australia, the US, and Northern Europe.

  3. Swimming • Swimming is the movement of the body through water using arms and legs. Most of the time equipment is not used. People swim for exercise, fun. People can swim in the sea, swimming pools, rivers and lakes. Swimming works all the muscles simultaneously. It is impact free. It also builds up stamina.

  4. Kite surfing • Kite surfing or Kite boarding is a kind of water sports that uses the wind to pull a rider on the water surface on a small surfboard or a kiteboard. There are a number of different styles of kiteboarding.

  5. Scuba diving • Scuba Diving is a sport where people (called "scuba divers", or simply "divers") can swim underwater for a long time, using a tank filled with compressed air. The tank is a large metal cylinder made of steel or aluminum.

  6. Wakeboarding • Wakeboarding is a water sport that involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. The rider is usually towed behind a motorboat. This sport, that appeared in the beginning of the eighties, has been inspired by surfing, water skiing and snowboarding.

  7. Windsurfing • Windsurfing is a water sport invented in the U.K. by Peter Chilvers in 1958 on Hayling Island, Hampshire. It is performed on a board with a sail. The sail both empowers the board and helps the board change directions. The sport is a combination of surfing and sailing. Windsurfers can travel on either flat or rough water, as long as there is wind. Windsurfing is done mostly in the summer and spring.
