What is skysurfing?
sky·sur·fing 
n : The sport of performing maneuvers or stunts during free fall while riding on a skyboard
sky·board 
n : a lightweight board similar to a snowboard, equipped with quick release foot bindings and sometimes a recovery parachute, used for skysurfing
Skysurfing is a visually dynamic team sport consisting of two skydivers--the skysurfer who performs tricks while riding a skyboard and the camera flyer who records the jump with a helmet mounted video camera while simultaneously performing a countermove to each trick executed by the skysurfer. Skysurfing is an artistic sport similar to freestyle skiing and skateboarding.
