It involves a sail that is attached to a board in a way that allows full rotation and mobility.

Skiing is one of the most popular winter sports. Its origins can be traced to pre-historic Africa and Asia, where wooden boards and tree branches would be used to walk on the snow. Modern athletes wear boots made using space technology, with computer-designed skis. Portugal has a ski resort in the Serra da Estrela, which has facilities for recreational skiing as well as training and competition. The first international medals for Portugal were won in 2012 by Andrea Bugnone.
A mixture of surfing and sailing, Windsurfing can be practised with or without waves, in the latter case using just the force of the wind.

EXTREME SPORTS
Associated with a healthy and adventurous lifestyle, extreme sports are gaining ever greater numbers of fans across the world. Portugal provides confirmation of this trend, with increasing numbers of athletes and international competitions. This growing popularity is partly due to the extraordinary developments in the safety, sturdiness, and performance of the equipment used, which attracts new participants and allows experienced exponents a greater scope for daring feats.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) originated in Hawaii and can be practised in the sea, rivers, or lakes/lagoons. It is accessible to people of all ages and provides a complete physical workout. The most popular SUP spots in Portugal are the Aveiro estuary and the autonomous region of the Azores. This archipelago hosts an international competition that involves crossing between the islands of São Jorge and Pico, a distance of 19 kilometres.
Skydive means exactly what it says. Free falling in the seconds before the parachute opens leads to a huge adrenalin rush. The jump is made at an altitude above 600 feet, usually from an aircraft. The tandem version (under the control of an instructor) is one of the most popular extreme sports among those seeking an unforgettably intense experience.

O Ski é um dos mais apreciados desportos de inverno. A sua origem remonta à pré-história dos povos do norte de África e da Ásia, que recorriam a pranchas de madeira e a galhos de árvore para caminhar na neve. Os atletas modernos calçam botas construídas com tecnologia espacial que se fixam em esquis desenhados em computador. Portugal dispõe de uma estância de ski, na Serra da Estrela, equipada para a prática recreativa e para situações de treino e competição. As primeiras medalhas internacionais foram conquistadas em 2012 pelo esquiador luso Andrea Bugnone.
Mistura de surf e de vela, o Windsurf pode ser praticado com ou sem ondas, neste último caso usando apenas a força do vento. Trata-se de um sistema de vela livre, presa à prancha de modo a permitir plena rotação e a mobilidade. São diversas as praias com boas condições para a modalidade, nomeadamente Viana do Castelo, Foz do Arelho, Carcavelos, Ponta dos Corvos, Guincho, Alvor e Martinhal. O atleta madeirense João Rodrigues qualificou Portugal para os Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro 2016.
Remar em pé em cima de uma prancha de surf – Stand Up Paddle (SUP) – é uma modalidade com origem no Havai, praticável em mar, rio ou lagoa/lago. Acessível a todas as idades, proporciona um treino físico completo.Em Portugal, o SUP tem como locais de eleição a ria de Aveiro e a região autónoma dos Açores. Este arquipélago acolhe uma prova de competição internacional que consiste na travessia entre as ilhas de S. Jorge e do Pico, numa extensão de 19 quilómetros.
Literalmente, Skydive significa “mergulho no céu”. Emocionalmente, traduz-se numa brutal explosão de adrenalina, provocada pela sensação de queda livre nos segundos que antecedem a abertura do paraquedas. O salto faz-se a uma altitude superior a 600 pés, por norma a partir de uma aeronave.Na versão tandem (sob o controlo de um instrutor) é das atividades radicais mais procuradas por pessoas que valorizam uma experiência de intensidade inesquecível. A região portuguesa do Alentejo oferece excelentes condições para esta prática.
Associados a um estilo de vida saudável e aventureiro, os desportos radicais conquistam cada vez mais adeptos em todo o mundo. Portugal confirma esta tendência, multiplicando-se o número de atletas e de provas de nível internacional. Esta crescente notoriedade deve-se, em parte, à extraordinária evolução registada nas condições de segurança, robustez e desempenho dos equipamentos envolvidos, fator que atrai principiantes e, nos mais experientes, potencia a audácia.
Desporto olímpico desde 1998, o Snowboard consiste em deslizar na neve de pé sobre uma prancha, mantendo o equilíbrio com perícia idêntica à que se exige na prática do surf e do skate. Em 2012 realizou-se na cidade da Covilhã a primeira prova internacional de desportos de inverno, o Snowboard Urban Festival, pontuável para os Jogos Olímpicos. Simultaneamente, atletas lusos têm marcado presença em competições no estrangeiro.
