It is easy to perform compared to other water sports, which require more focus on balance. It is one of the newest water sports, which is slowly being noticed by explorers who visit Goa from different parts of the country to regale in water adventure activities. People are starting to prefer Wakeboarding to Water Skiing as it needs less speed and focus on balance; however, more winds are required in Wakeboarding as compared to other water activities.

 3.  Kayaking

This activity is the latest addition to the list of most thrilling water sports in Goa, which is quickly growing in popularity. The sport was started by Thomas Edward Blake in the early 1930s. To start doing Paddleboarding, one needs to be on their standing position or be on their knees to paddle and move forward in the water and maintain balance throughout the ride.
