What you currently do: S.U.P. boarding, windsurfing, canoeing (Canadian, open and closed), water zorbing.
What you have done: all of the above, I have done in the past and I attend classes every summer, I no longer swim though, even though I have my 2000 meter badge.
What you want to do: sailing, jumping in puddles competitively, jet-ski.
What got you into it: at Rother Valley country park they do watersport, and my mum signed me up. I love it, and during the summer holidays I take classes in all of them, as well as cycling and team building.
Advice you'd give to people interested in the same sport(s): windsurfing is hard, so I would suggest when you first start have a 3.5 meter sail, then go onto the 5.5 meter sail, and if you get really good you can go onto the larger, harder to use 10 meter sail. stand up paddle boards, or S.U.P.S, are very easy to use. you stand on the board and use a paddle to push yourself. with canoeing, if you are Canadian canoeing, you need three people, and a good instructor to help you. if it capsizes, it is very hard to get back on the right side. if you are open canoeing, you are in your own boat. this is the easiest, because if you capsize it is very light and you can push it off your head. closed canoeing is very hard. you sit in a long tube, and if you capsize, you need to roll yourself around so you are the right way. if you capsize in one of these, and fail to roll, you have no air so you may fall unconscious. with water zerbing, you are in a ball, with another person, and you walk in the ball, like a hamster. that's it, basically, have fun, and get a good instructor!

Favorite parts: the games, like building rafts out of canoes, falling over in zorbing.
Least favorite parts: capsizing in a closed caone, S.U.P.S in the rain.
What do you want to discuss the most on this thread? What interests you best?: I like discussing the S.U.P.S and the zorbing, I know most about those.

Say hi! c: hi?

I just got back from visiting florida. ^-^



I WAS gonna go parasailing, but my cousins kinda sorta ditched my brother and i, so we went swimming at the beach. it was lots of fun, and although i thought the sea-water tasted gross, my little brother liked it!!! >,<

overall, i had a lot of fun swimming in our rich friends' indoor pool, fishing, and swimming in the ocean. (Fort Meyers beach has REALLY shallow water!)

That sounds awesome, Nightsent! When I was young I liked the taste of ocean water because I liked the salty taste of it XD Not so much anymore haha... It's funny because I hate going to the beach to just sit around (I get sunsick way too easily...) but I love swimming in open water ^_^ although I do like pools better XD
