All Wave Riding

Sports in which a rider is carried by the energy of breaking waves on a board. Surfing is the type case, scored by judges on the difficulty and style of manoeuvres performed on each wave. What belongs here is a board sport ridden on moving water; paddled and rowed craft sit with the water and boat sports. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Aquatic Sports category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
