	Skysurfing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Skysurfing is a kind of skydiving in which the skydiver wears a board attached to their feet and performs surfing-style aerobatics during freefall.
		The simplest skysurfing technique is to stand upright on the board during freefall, and tilt the nose of the board down to generate forward movement.
		There are examples of early experiments in skysurfing going back to the 1980s, but it became popular and gained recognition during the 1990s thanks to the efforts of the first few exponents to master the more complex aerobatics, such as the late Patrick de Gayardon.

	Skysurfing, by Jenny Parma, Alternative Sports Magazine
		A skysurfer is also more prone to rolling when using a board, again launching the athlete into a spin.
		In most cases, a skysurfer regains control during a spin by extricating the release handle - usually located on the left-hand side of the leg - called the cutaway.
		Skysurfing, unlike freefall, freefly canopy formation, formation diving or any other parachuting discipline, involves a team of two athletes: a skysurfer and a cameraflyer.
