Nude recreation

Nude recreation refers to recreational activities which some people engage in the nude. Such activities can take place in private spaces, such as in a person's own property or in a naturist context, but also in public areas. Activities in which people engage in the nude include hiking, running (in some contexts this is referred to as streaking), swimming, cycling and yoga. More passive activities include reading, sauna, hot springs, and sunbathing, such as at a nude beach.

When such activities take place in a public context, they are subject to laws and social attitudes to public nudity. (Exception: In Arkansas, nudism is illegal even while on private property. Furthermore, it is a crime to "promote" or "advocate" nudism.) Most nude recreational activities take place in private places, such as naturist resorts, and when on public lands participants try to be discreet to minimize any potential discomfort it might bring to an accidental passerby. Some public places have been set aside for the use of those who wish to engage in recreational activities in the nude, such as nude beaches.

Various people engage in nude recreational activities, either individually or in groups. These activities encompass many kinds of sports and outdoor pastime, from naked sky-diving to hiking and dancing. Popular in this context are nude swimming (sometimes called skinny dipping) in a river, lake, sea, swimming hole or other body of water; naked snorkeling and surfing; nude canoeing or kayaking (sometimes called canuding); nude hiking (sometimes called free hiking or naked rambling) in the remote countryside, for example in the mountain forest of Tenerife; or cycle riding (free riding) in remote areas and in organised groups through cities. Team sports, especially volleyball, are also very popular, and there are even international naked rugby tournaments.
