windsurfing
Windsurfing is a surface water sport using a windsurf board, also commonly called a sailboard, usually two to five meters long and powered by a single sail. The rig is connected to the board by a free-rotating flexible joint called the Universal Joint (U-Joint).
A windsurfer holds the world speed record for sailing craft; and, windsurfers can perform jumps, inverted loops, spinning maneuvers, and other "freestyle" moves that cannot be matched by any sailboat
Modern windsurfing boards can be classified into these categories:
Freeride:
Boards meant for comfortable recreational cruising at planing speed, mainly in flat waters or in light to moderate swell. The so-called freeride sailing movement diverged from course racing as more recreational sailors chose to sail freely without being constrained to sailing on courses around buoys.
Formula Windsurfing Class:
Shorter boards up to one meter in width, for use in Formula Windsurfing races.
Wave boards:
Smaller, lighter, more maneuverable boards for use in breaking waves. Characteristically, sailors on wave boards perform high jumps while sailing against waves, and they ride the face of a wave performing narrow linked turns. The most common sizes of sails used with wave boards are in the range of 4.0 to 6.0 square meters, depending on the wind speed and the weight of the sailor.
Freestyle boards:
Related to wave boards in terms of maneuverability, these are wider, higher volume boards geared specifically at performing acrobatic tricks with widths frequently in excess of 60 centimeters. Freestyle boards began to diverge more noticeably in design from wave boards in the early part of the 2000 decade, as aerial tricks became the predominant part of the freestyle repertoire, superseding Old School moves, in which the board did not leave contact with the water. These boards also incorporate a fairly large amount of fore and aft rocker to make leaving the water (jumping) easier.
Slalom boards:
Shortboards aimed at top speed, rather than maneuverability or ease of use.
Beginner boards:
these often have a daggerboard, are almost as wide as Formula boards, and have plenty of
volume, hence stability.
Racing longboards:
Mistral One Design, or the Olympic RS:X class race boards.

snowboard
The snowboard is the joungest subject of the F.I.S., it makes a mixture of classics elements inhered of the Alpina's competition
Several types exist of snowboard:
Two runners compete at the same time, for ot one gate route.
Giant Parallel Slalom:
The giant parallel slalom it's the same than the normal parallel slalom, but it's less doser than that
Halfpipe
the participatings carriying in a jumps group, acrobatics and maneuver in the halfpipe, going from side to side rising for the edges of the pipe
Big-Air
It is a " big jump " that is judged according to the criteria: control of the acrobatics, extent, and landing
Acro-Snow
The corridors do the joint exit in groups of four in a sinuous track specially constructed for the snowboard that includes returns, jumps, waves and the equipped snow

sport fishing
Sport fishing is a term that describes recreational fishing where the primary reward is the challenge of finding and catching the fish rather than just the culinary or financial value of the fish's flesh. The distinction is not completely rigid - in many cases, sport fishers will also eat their catches.
Sport fishing methods vary according to the area being fished, the species being targeted, the personal strategies of the angler, and the resources available, ranging from fly fishing, ostensibly invented in Great Britain. In virtually every case, however, the fishing is done with hook, line, rod and reel rather than with nets or other aids.
Sport fishing competitions give competitors a specified time and area from which they are to catch fish. Scores are awarded for each fish caught, the points depending on the fish's weight and species, and then, sometimes, divided by the strength of the fishing line used (so catching fish on thinner, weaker line scores additional points).
STYLES FISHING
In fact there are so many styles of fishing and fishermen, places and fish species. Create two groups differentiating patterns more typical of a aquatic environment or another.
Surrounding river
Fishing the tiento, Coup, and English, or Bolognaise
Fisheries to fly
Maritime Environment
Fishing the curricán or Cacea
Surf-Casting
Fishing cart Valencian
Fishing submarine
Fishing the Brumeo

Swimming
Swimming is movement by humans in water, usually without artificial assistance
There are four swimming styles commonly swum in competitions. Three of them are regulated by the FINA
Breaststroke
Breaststroke is a swimming style swum on the breast. It is the most popular recreational style due to its stability and the ability to keep the head out of the water at all times.
Backstroke
Backstroke also sometimes called back crawl is one of the four swimming styles regulated by FINA, and the only regulated style swum on the back. This has the advantage of easy breathing, but the disadvantage of not seeing where the swimmer is heading to.
Butterfly stroke
The butterfly, (fly for short) is a swimming stroke swum on the breast, with both arms moving simultaneously. The butterfly kick was developed separately, and is also known as the "dolphin kick".
Freestyle swimming
Freestyle is one of the official swimming competitions according to the rules of FINA. Although it is technically not a style, its frequent use in this manner is evolving its original meaning. This style is generally the fastest

climbing
Climbing is the activity of using one's hands or feet to ascend a steep object. It is done both for recreation and professionally, as part of activities such as maintenance of a structure, or military operations.
Climbing activities include:
Mountain climbing (Mountaineering): Ascending mountains for sport or recreation. It often involves rock and/or ice climbing.
Rock climbing: Ascending rock formations, often using climbing shoes and a chalk bag. Equipment such as ropes, bolts, nuts, hexes and camming devices are normally employed, either as a safeguard or for artificial aid.
Ice climbing: Ascending ice or hard snow formations using special equipment designed for the purpose, usually ice axes and crampons. Protective equipment is similar to rock climbing, although protective devices are different (ice screws, snow wedges).
Bouldering: Ascending boulders or small outcrops, often with climbing shoes and a chalk bag or bucket. Usually, instead of using a safety rope from above, injury is avoided using a crash pad (a combination of high and low density foam, within a heavy duty fabric structure, often transported on the back) and a human spotter (to direct a falling climber on to the pad).
Buildering: Climbing urban structures - usually without equipment - avoiding normal means of ascent like stairs and elevators. Aspects of buildering can be seen in the art of movement known as Parkour.
Tree climbing: Ascending trees without harming them, using ropes and other equipment. This is a less competitive activity than rock climbing.
Rope climbing: Climbing a short, thick rope for speed. Not to be confused with roped climbing, as in rock or ice climbing.
Pole climbing (gymnastic): Climbing poles and masts without equipment.
Pole climbing (lumberjack): Lumberjack tree-trimming and competitive tree-trunk or pole climbing for speed using spikes and belts
