The Brits have contributed a new sport to the world, coined Horsesurfing. Yes, it is just what it sounds like: the combined skill of horseback riding and surfing.

Daniel, 28, of Bude, Cornwall, said: 'We always felt we were missing something in terms of the potential of horse riding, then one day it just clicked.We'd tried attaching mountain boards to motorbikes and cars and I realised there was no reason not to try it with a horse. It just feels amazing - you have the power of the horse and the power of the wave which are two of nature's most inspiring forces."
