We're chasing that dream-like feeling of floating free in the air and playing around, be it real or fantasy. Any post type that conveys this feeling is welcome. Check the post flairs for examples.

What qualifies for Floating Is Fun is open to interpretation. I encourage everyone to post what they like to see. Give us a gentle push and we'll float pretty far.

We started on Reddit /r/FloatingIsFun in 2021 and moved here in 2023. All 400+ posts from the original from the original subreddit have been reposted here, so you're not missing anything.

a bitcrushed GIF of fisheye action cam footage of kiteboarder Yücel Paralik gliding around above the sea with his sport wing; he's wrestling with his kite to wing to stay aloft as it spins him around chaotically, and it was hard for Hitstun to find a 15-second clip that loops decently well

Is the board connected to the sail or just connected to his feet? Either way that’s some serious upper body strength

The board is only on his feet, and he can do aerial flip tricks with it. As for the wing, he seems to be harnessed into it. With the handlebar, he can shift his weight like a hang glider amd control the wing.
