Riverboarding

Riverboarding is a boardsport in which the participant is tethered to the shore while the river flows underneath their board. It is physically analogous to water skiing but instead of being pulled through the water, the water flows past the riverboarder. Elastic tethers allow for flexibility the location of the riverboarder. Fast flowing currents are preferred.
