Water is one of the most versatile elements on the planet, so we're constantly coming up with new ways to get our watery thrills. So this week, we have two features on the latest watersports.
First up, it's the Kiteboard Pro world tour highlights. It's an extraordinary sight as the boarders make massive jumps, and the tour takes in the Cabo Verde Islands, Sardinia, Paros, Cornwall, New Caledonia and Rio.
Then we're showing the new flowboarding sport in the first part of our report on the Siemens mobile wave tour in Durban, South Africa. Watersports in a shopping mall, can you believe it?
