Francaissometimes called flowriding, flowboarding is the sport of riding a sheet wave of water. This sports happens on a man made artificial surf machine. A thin layer of water is propulsed into a soft or bouncy mat allowing the riders to perform manoevers on a board without a fin. The riding surface can be a tensioned surface or a foamy solid slick surface. the water thickness is around a few inches
On this same surface of thin propulsated water it is possible to BodyBoard as well. Bodyboarding uses different manoeuvers and a different board than flowboarding. Bodyboarding usually happens in prone or double knee position, but professionals are known for drop-knee positionning.
it is similar to other water board sports. The concept of a man made surf machine isnt unique to the sport of flowboarding. Other wave designs include pool of stationnary and non-stationnary waves.
