Wing foil sport that is trending and on the rise and that combines the disciplines of windsurfing, kitesurfing and foiling. It is essentially a hybrid of windfoiling, kitefoiling, and SUP foiling . You grab hold of a loose wing and hold it with your hands while riding a foil or hydrofoil board. Because the wing is so close to you, while the board is so sturdy and wide, this sport allows you to manage your ride with a lot of stability and control. All the magic is possible due to the little resistance offered by the foil boards with the water.
- The Wakeboard and Wakeskate . These are two sports born from surfing and water skiing, and which consist of sliding over water on top of a board, being dragged by a boat or a jet ski and connected with a rope or 'palonier'.
- Kitesurfing : surfing is combined with paragliding. The board allows the athlete to present greater resistance to the air and slide on the water using a board designed for this purpose, in addition to performing rotations and turns at amazing speeds.
- Bodyboarding : surface water sport close to surfing that is practiced on a shorter and more flexible board. The bodyboard board is usually made of synthetic foam. About 1 meter long and 60 centimeters wide, the part of the outer cover is soft (polyethylene foam) and the lower part of the plate in contact with the water is made of plastic in order to reduce friction to a minimum.
- Subwing : It is a mixture of water skiing and freediving, the Subwing is attached to a boat by a rope. Maneuvers are performed by placing the wings at different angles. The necessary equipment is a boat, rope binding, a diving mask, and if you wish, a snorkel and fins, this is optional, not necessarily for an exciting ride.
