Etymology

The term 'cannoning' is derived from the word 'canyon', which has its roots in the Spanish word โ€˜caรฑรณnโ€™, meaning a deep gorge or ravine. The sport emerged as a blend of climbing and swimming activities in the fast-flowing river environments characterized by steep rock walls and natural landscapes. Cannoning has evolved significantly since it was first practiced in the late 20th century, particularly in Europe, where it gained popularity among adventure enthusiasts. In the 1980s, it became officially recognized as a sport, leading to the establishment of various organizations and safety protocols aimed at promoting responsible practice and preserving natural habitats. Today, cannoning draws adventurers worldwide, offering a unique way to explore remote canyons while embracing the challenges that nature presents.
