1. Veyksorfing
Very similar to traditional surfing, but it takes a lot easier. No need to wait weeks for the wind and look for the beach with steep waves. All that is required - open water, and board the boat.
A man stands on a board feet, and hands clutching at the rope - the rope, which is attached to the boat. The boat accelerates and creates behind the wave. On it and rides veyksorfer.
Once cutter pick up speed, the rope can be released to balance and stay on the water, or to continue to go holding vessel. This solves the athlete.
The length of the boards veyksorfinga varies from one to one and a half meters. Short more maneuverability, and long sustained. We boards veyksorfinga have from one to five fins: they are on the side, immersed into the water, and add stability. Before the occupation, it is desirable to put on a wet suit to keep warm while riding.

Since my childhood I was surrounded by the ocean, I was born in the UK, then moved to Portugal with his parents. It is therefore very early started surfing. About five years ago because of work he moved to Russia and forced to bid farewell to the board.
One of my clients said, "You're a surfer?" I replied, "former." He said, "Then you will definitely like it, go surfing in Moscow."
We arrived at the club veyksorferov, I got up on the board and immediately fell in love. I remember the feelings so far - it was impossible to cool. I felt like a little child who was subjected to a wave of green (a big wave on which surfers ride - approx. Ed.). This is a blast of adrenaline, endorphins, pleasure.

In fact, when you do the classic surfing, this feeling is very rare, because the sport superslozhnyh. Until will achieve progress, it will take years, and in veyksorfinge need a week or two. In addition to all veyksorfinge riding time - 15-20 minutes - given only to you: do not need to share a wave with anyone.
Beginners can advise only one thing: do not forget to enjoy the ride. Many belong to the board too serious, and very vain. Veyksorfing - a lifestyle rather than just a sport.
2. Sapbording
For sapsbordinga not need any wave or wind, or even a boat. Only the special board and paddle.
Name of glanders (SUP) - an abbreviation that stands for a British driving on a board while standing with a paddle (stand up paddle). Board for this sport is also called glanders. It is more sorfingovoy in length and width, so it is very difficult to fall.
Glanders length - from 3.2 to 3.8 meters, and the width - 80 cm. surf boards length - from 1.9 to 2.2 meters, width - from 49 to 52 centimeters.
Sap may be rigid - polyurethane, bamboo, glass fiber - or inflatable PVC. The latter option is more common: a convenient store equipment at home and you can take it anywhere in the world.
Sap - universal board, which can engage in several sports. The most common in Russia:
- pleasure glanders. When you just ride on the water and enjoy the spectacular views.
- speed glanders. If you want to compete with others.
- Sup Yoga. Yoga on the water helps to relax muscles and to pump.

Glanders, you can do almost everything, even little children and people who have just recovered from injury. Especially popular board with oars in St. Petersburg: there are several schools, and each year the summer festival "Fontanka-SUP». But to find a school for glanders is possible in most large cities of Russia.

Sap like absolutely everyone who loves the water, not afraid of it, and willing to try something new. The board can be taken anywhere in the world, with its help, you will see a lot of interesting places that do not reach the feet of man: the closed bays, grottoes and caves. It is always interesting to see what hides corners of our nature.
At Sapa, you can move around in the open ocean, harbors, lakes, rivers or any other water bodies. It is not worse gym helps pump the body, since it is necessary to balance on the board, cycling muscles of the arms, legs, back. the sound of water - the best way to calm the mind, out of my mind the accumulated problems.
Decide to get on board - do not be afraid! Sap - not kayak, he did not turn over.
3. Wakeboard
According to the principle similar to veyksorfing, but much more extreme. Wakeboarder also catches hold of the rope, attached to a boat, and catching a wave. The difference is that here the human task - to stay afloat, and in any case, do not let go of the rope.
Board wakeboard slightly shorter boards veyksorfinga - from 119 to 142 centimeters. The size depends on the weight and human growth. In addition it has a fin attachment for legs: another athlete can easily fly off with it during the maneuvers.
Get comfortable on the board, and you can try to perform acrobatic tricks - grabs. For example, to cling to the projectile nose with one hand and take a position parallel to the water.
Wakeboard can be engaged in any open body of water, the main thing to find the equipment and boat ride which you agree. Try to get up on a wakeboard is possible on Wake Weekend festival. He will be held in Zavidovo, from 26 to 28 July. There and catch a wave, and get acquainted with other fans of water sports, and live music. A professional instructors will tell you how to do tricks and what mistakes to avoid newcomers.

Wakeboard is very similar to snowboarding. So even in the summer I can keep myself in good shape. For the first time on a wakeboard I got two years ago, I persuaded the girl. I thought at first: "What is this garbage? How to do this ride? "But once I got out on the water and tried to jump, I realized that this is a very cool sport. Now and in the summer I do not cease to roll.
At Wake Weekend in Zavidovo I will for the third time. Impressions from past festivals were only positive. Hangout wakeboarders very similar to the snowboard.
I advise to visit Wake Weekend young people who want to try an extreme sport and a fun weekend in the country.
4. Windsurfing
A mixture of surfing and sailing. For classes need a special board with mastfutom - joint into which the sail. "Wing" for windsurfing is of several types: some choose depends on the style and level of training.
Important in windsurfing - to understand the technique: moving board comes from the wind and the body of the slopes - you need to understand how to relate them correctly. To avoid breaking anything, better than the first time to engage with the instructor. Windsurfing schools in Russia are many: there are on the Black Sea, on the lake, in the suburbs, in St. Petersburg.
Understood in the art, you can go two ways:
- Displacement - a common sliding on the water: where the wind carries, there and drive.
- aquaplaning - grasping for a sail and lean in the right direction. Board at that time separated from the water, the resistance is reduced, and you begin to virtually fly, driven by the wind.
Wave windsurfing is not obligatory: Catch it will be interesting for professionals and beginners ride on the smooth water surface.
Alexander Sorokin
Professional athlete and coach in windsurfing
Windsurfing - very addictive sport. To begin to deal with it can be almost any age. My youngest student was only three years old and the age - 79 years. Have fun, grow over each other and slide on the water sailing can be quite anyone.
Windsurfing provides the thrill of operation simultaneously with two elements: the water and wind, using boards and sail.
At first, you do not need a special physical training. Unlike many adventure sports, falls occur in the water, so the chance to get injured quite low.
Highly I recommend to start your journey in windsurfing under the supervision of an experienced, professional instructor, guided by the main rule: from simple to complex. Do not try to jump over your head, as the missed training stages and then come out in the wrong technique.
5. flyboard
You may have seen on the river, a lake or a sea of people who soar above the water by means of air jets. It flaybordisty. Climb into the sky helps them reactive board - flyboard. He is of two kinds:
- With the air-jet engines. Four of them and they are attached to the base board. Feed motors kerosene fuel, which is in the backpack is worn on the back. This option is most suitable flyboard for professional athletes.
- With pipe for watercraft. In this case the water jet is created by the pressure of water motorcycle engine.
Flyboard raises man to a height of 19 meters. In the air, you need to maintain a balance with the help of the body tilts. To protect themselves during the session, you must wear a wetsuit, life jacket and helmet.
With experience, you can perform in the air cool trick: flip, rotate around its axis, hovering in the air.
Evgeny Shubin
CEO of flyboard rental station in St. Petersburg
I do flyboard five years. This is a completely new kind of extreme sport, which brings not only adrenaline but also the feeling of free flight.
The main rule to keep in mind for beginners: do not bend the legs and knees, or you just do not climb above the water. To fly, you need to keep the body straight and keep your balance.
Flyboard safe sport: put on a wetsuit, helmet, vest and all. Drowned or hurt himself somehow unreal. I advise not to be afraid, but go only forward! Listen carefully to the instructor and observe the safety precautions.
