This is deff eco friendly. It is way better than being pulled by a boat. Horses do not release gasses that can poisin or kill life in the water. I am a big person to go out on the boat and water ski and wakeboard so I think it would fun.

I am sorry to the person above but the horse surfing is hilarious, looks fun and extremely scary!

The other day my friends and I made some eco-friendly cocktails with 360 vodka, grabbed a volley ball and hit the nets. Not as daring as these sports but still green nonetheless ;)

Horse surfing

Horse surfing was developed in 2005 by British trick riders who strapped on kiteboards and towed themselves up and down beaches behind their horses. Since then it's been adopted by riders around the world and is particularly popular in Australia. A horse's top speed maxes out around 35 miles per hour. Knock off about 10 mph for running in the shallow surf and you get a heart-pounding, CO2-free experience.
