Face Level covers a wide range of sports, and it continues to increase because, well, we're Face Level! From the Olympic sport of Skeleton and its decendant Airboarding, to the insane sport of Wingsuit Flying, into the river with Riverboarding and ripping both river and ocean waves with Bodyboarding, there are a ton of choices if you enjoy face level sports.

But we've left an obvious sport off the list until now, primarily because it's not really an "extreme" sport. It can certainly offer adrenline at times (ever seen a 12ft / 4m shark up close?), but it's more of a recreational sport than a hardcore one.

Since it fits the definition of face level sports, though, which is: "sports done with forward motion, headfirst & horizontal to gravity", I think it definitely deserves to be included. Although the gravitational part could be debated I suppose.

I know there are many riverboarders who also dive or have in the past, and it's a great sport for those who love water in all of its myriad of forms. As I've recently discovered while getting my PADI Open Water Diver certification, there's just nothing like being 45ft / 15m underwater while a school of spotted eagle rays gracefully glides by overhead.

No, it's not really extreme (at the recreational level - some types of scuba diving can be though), but if you love the water it's a completely worthwhile experience, and certainly qualifies as a face level sport.

Not only that, but it's a great way to practice your freestyle surfing and airboarding tricks in a weightless environment. ;-)
