Flowriding is the newest form of bodyboarding and amazingly enough, you are not bodyboarding in the sea. Flowriding is a combination of surfing, skateboarding and bodyboarding and the first ever Flowriding competition was held in Australia last week.

Flowriders have to perform a variety of tricks on a thin sheet of rushing water which flows over a stationary form. The form gradually goes downhill and the idea is that you prevent yourself from reaching the bottom of the hill.
