Horsesurfing: The British-invented sport combines the technical skill of surfing with the raw power of horse riding
This daredevil duo were onto a shore winner yesterday when they hit the beach for the latest extreme sports craze - HORSESURFING. The British-invented sport combines the technical skill of surfing with the raw power of horse riding. A towing rope is attached to a special saddle so the surfer can be pulled through the water as the horse and its rider gallop alongside. As speed picks up the boarder hits waves and is thrown into the air - where they can pull flips and tricks before landing back down and racing on. Horsesurfing is the brainchild of stuntman Daniel Fowler-Prime who thought up the idea with friends when they grew bored of their existing hobbies.
Hey, I beat out Joe in posting this!
It looks more like horse wake boarding rather than surfing.
PS You know I’m going steal that photo and post it.
This is the most ridicoulus thing I have ever seen. I’m sure it’s pretty gnar, but seriously? Some people have way way too much time on their hands.
It’s called ‘fun’ — try it sometime!
