Hydrospeed, also known as riverboarding or white-water sledging, is a thrilling water sport where individuals navigate through rough river currents using a specially designed board. Participants wear a buoyant board that resembles a bodyboard or a large foam float, along with a wetsuit, fins for propulsion, and a personal flotation device for safety.
Lying stomach-down on the board, participants use their arms and legs to steer and navigate through the river’s currents. Hydrospeeding is typically done on white-water rivers with varying degrees of difficulty, offering an exhilarating and close-to-the-water experience. It combines the excitement of white-water rafting with the individual control of a bodyboard, providing an immersive and challenging adventure on the river.
