Fun water sports and activities to try this summer

    Summer is a beautiful season — it’s full of long days, warm nights, and fragrant air. Though, of course, it does bring with it a lot more heat and sweaty days. That’s why joining in on water sports or activities is the perfect way to cool off, freshen up, and have a whole lot of fun in the meantime.

1.    Surfing 
2.    Kitesurfing – In this extreme sport, you have a board strapped to your feet, and a 
large kite strapped to your waist. You then use the kite’s handles to control it as it catches the wind and propels you across the water.
3.    SUP – Partake in a more laidback water activity with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). 
The large boards make it easy to balance while you use the oar to paddle your way around. As such, it’s popular with all age ranges, fitness levels and is perfect for the whole family.
4.    Kayaking – Kayaking is another relatively easy, low-impact water sport that’s great 
for everyone. It’s brilliant for exploring calmer waters including protected coastlines, lagoons, and rivers.
5.     Wakeboarding – Get the blood pumping with a more extreme water sport. Your feet 
get strapped onto a board, and you hold onto a rope attached to the back of a boat. Then, as you’re pulled along behind it, you ride the wake, enjoying the thrill and eventually learning tricks such as jumps and flips.
6.    Scuba diving
7.    Snorkeling
8.    Windsurfing – It essentially combines surfing and sailing by attaching a large sail to a 
board and strapping you on. It’s great because you can do it on most bodies of water such as the ocean, lakes, bays, and rivers, so long as the wind conditions are right.
9.    Jet skiing
10.    Parasalining – It’s an exhilarating experience that sees you launched off the back of a 
high-speed boat while attached to a large parasail. It’s a great activity for most of the family, although there is generally minimum age and weight restrictions.
11.    Freediving
12.    Canyoning – It’s a sport where you traverse ancient waterways that have cut deep 
canyons and ravines through mountains and rocks over the course of millions of years. It’s a chance to discover pure, untouched nature that you wouldn’t ordinarily get to see.
13.    Fishing
