• Fluvial: there are few places in the world that allow you to surf river waves. The Amazon River is one of these and, thanks to the attraction that the moon exerts on the Atlantic Ocean, on rare occasions it "hosts" waves that are even higher and more lasting than those of the sea. Other locations sought after by athletes are the River Severn, west of Birmingham, Eisbach in Germany and the Zambezi, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
• Skimboarding: it is a particular technique that allows you to enter the water by taking a run from the shoreline and face the final part of the wave motion
• Stand-Up: it is a practice originally from Hawaii, created to assist beginners, and allows you to ride the wave standing on a large board with the help of a paddle
• Tow-in surfing: it is similar to water skiing. The athlete is pulled by a boat or a jet ski and, once the necessary speed is reached, he detaches and faces the wave.
• Windsurf: allows you to ride large waves with the help of a light and easy to handle sail
This is the calendar of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.
