Freeboating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freeboating (or freeride Kayking) is a branch of kayaking. A relatively new sport combining different aspects of kayaking, such as freestyle (playboating) and creeking, freeboating has progressed quickly in recent years, and is fast becoming recognised as one of the most popular disciplines within kayaking.
The term came from the concept of freeriding, which is used in a multitude of sports, including skiing, snowboarding, and windsurfing. The general concept was that there was no set course, goals or rules to abide by.
Many skills course providers have started to embrace the sport by advertising free-ride kayaking courses.
