  1. 5. – A water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore.
  2. 7. tubing – The activity of floating down a flowing water body (river, stream) on a floating device like an inner tube or inflatable raft and letting the current floating the person downstream.
  3. 9. - Breath-hold diving where the diver proceeds to the depths using on one breath. Various disciplines are available for competition freediving including constant ballast, variable ballast and no-limits (to name three)
  4. 10. – An activity which involves paddling a canoe with a single-bladed paddle to move across water. A canoe is a lightweight narrow water vessel, typically pointed at both ends and open on top, propelled by one or more seated or kneeling paddlers facing the direction of travel and using paddles.
  5. 11. - The practice of swimming face down on or through a body of water while breathing the ambient air through a shaped tube called a snorkel, usually with swimming goggles or a diving mask, and swimfins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn.
  6. 13. diving - The action or sport of swimming under water without a diving suit, typically in deep water using an aqualung and flippers.
  7. 15. - A wave riding discipline in which the surfer rides a board on their knees.
  8. 19. – The activity of using an underwater scooter, also called a diver propulsion vehicle (DPV), underwater propulsion vehicle, sea scooter, or swimmer delivery vehicle that can operate on the water’s surface as well as under water.
  9. 22. - A surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer (or two in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but can also be found as standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools.
  10. 23. - A water sport in which the rider, standing on a wakeboard (a board with foot bindings), is towed behind a motorboat across its wake and especially up off the crest in order to perform aerial maneuvers.
  11. 26. rafting – The recreational activity where a water-craft (typically a rubber raft) made for navigating whitewater rapids is navigated through white water rapids.
  12. 27. - a wind-propelled water sport that is a combination of sailing and surfing.[1] It is also referred to as "sailboarding" and "boardsailing"
  13. 29. - The use of a kayak for moving over water. A kayak is a small, narrow human-powered watercraft typically propelled by means of a long, double-bladed paddle.
Down
  1. 1. soaking – The activity of immersing oneself in a water for relaxation or for wellness/ therapeutic reasons. Soaking is often done in warm water such as geothermal hot springs
  2. 2. diving - Where the diver uses air tanks to help sustain their life whilst diving for extended periods of time.
  3. 3. surfing - The sport of riding a wave without the assistance of any buoyant device such as a surfboard or bodyboard; to ride on a wave without a surfboard by planing on the chest and stomach
  4. 4. - A sport where the "diver" proceeds under the water for a period of time
  5. 6. - A boardsport in which a skimboard is used to skim/glide across the shallow water's surface on a beach to meet an incoming breaking wave, and ride it back to shore. Skimboards are smaller, thinner and rounder than a surfboard.
  6. 8. -The recreational activity of navigating a river or other body of water with a raft. A raft is any flat structure for support or transportation over water. It is usually of basic design, characterized by the absence of a hull. Rafts are usually kept afloat by using any combination of buoyant materials such as wood, sealed barrels, or inflated air chambers, and are typically not propelled by an engine
  7. 12. diving - The activity of diving to looking for small marine life at dive sites that may be a little mucky having little underwater visibility.
  8. 13. - The sport or activity of propelling oneself through water using the limbs (arms, legs).
  9. 14. Skiing - The activity of using a jetskki to travel across water
  10. 16. surfing - The sport of surfing either standing waves, tidal bores or upstream waves in rivers.
  11. 17. skiing - A surface water sport in which an individual is pulled behind a boat or a cable ski installation over a body of water, skimming the surface on two skis or one ski.
  12. 18. swing jumping – The activity of jumping from a rope swing into a body of water. Rope swings are made from a single piece of rope usually suspended from trees with a seat tied in for someone to sit and swing on.
  13. 20. - Use of a speargun to hunt underwater. Most Spearfishermen are also freedivers as they can get closer to the fish than they can with Scuba kit.
  14. 21. Diving - Scuba divers that push the envelope by diving in conditions beyond most sport divers (for example very deep or in No Clear Surface situations). Usually require more equipment and training.
  15. 24. / kiteboarding - A sport that involves using wind power with a large power kite to pull a rider across a water, land, snow, sand, or other surface.
  16. 25. Diving - The leaping off a cliff edge, usually into a body of water, as a form of sport.
  17. 28. Paddleboarding (SUP) - Stand-up paddleboarding is an outdoor water sports activity where a rider stands up on a large board and uses a paddle to move through the water.
