[Topic] Water Sports

Updated: Aug 21, 2020

There are all types of sports that are fun to try and if you happen to like the beach, you got to try these water sports!

My favorite place to be is the beach for all seasons. My dream is to travel around the world to surf. Do you like going to the beach or being in the water? 💦





Here are some water sports listed below:

  • Surfing🌊🏄‍♀️: a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or face of a moving wave, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore

  • Windsurfing💨: powered by wind and combines elements of surfing and sailing

  • Snorkeling: the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask and a snorkel

  • Swimming🏊‍♀️: the activity or sport that involves moving through water by moving the body or parts of the body

  • Kitesurfing: a sport in which you move across water by standing on a board and holding onto the strings of a large kite

  • Jet ski🛵💦: Jet ski is the term is often used generically to refer to any type of personal watercraft used mainly for recreation. It is like a water scooter or water motorcycle

  • Freediving: the sport or activity of diving under water without the use of breathing apparatus, especially in deep water.

  • River tracing, river climbing, river trekking or mountain stream climbing: a form of hiking or outdoor adventure activity that involves walking, wading, climbing and trekking through rivers

  • Cliff jumping: involves jumping into the water from a very high, rocky cliff. In Taiwan, it is a popular sport to go river tracing to a waterfall for some cliff jumping.
