boardsports
Surfing and snowboarding
Boardsports are athletic activities performed on a board—surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and their variants.
The rider stands on a flat platform and uses balance, body positioning, and momentum to navigate waves, terrain, or snow.
The culture surrounding boardsports tends to emphasize individual expression and style over formal competition: He's been into boardsports since he was a teenager.
