TREMENDOUS SPORTS

KITE SURFING
" You don't need a speed - boat to glide 30 miles an hour across the water. with only the wind and waves to power the ride, kite surfers cruise that speed with no problem - and the launch themselves up to 50 feet in the air"



ICE CLIMBING
"Activity of ascending inclined ice formation. Ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as ice falls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water"




BASE JUMPING
"Extreme activity that includes parachute to jump from fixed object, as with paragliding. "B.A.S.E." is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings,antennae, spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs)."



INDOOR CLIMBING
"The most common construction method involves screwing resin hand holds into wooden boards"



WIND SURFING
At one time referred to as "surfing's ginger haired cousin" by the sport's legendary champion, Robby Naish windsurfing has long struggled to present a coherent image of the sport to outsiders."




SCUBA DIVING
"Self contained underwater breathing apparatus now widely considered a word in it's own right is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses scuba set to breathe underwater"




JET SKI
"Freestyle riding a personal watercraft is mostly done by stand up PWC. Jet Ski is the brand name of personal watercraft (PWC) manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The name is sometimes mistakenly used by those unfamiliar with the personal watercraft industry to refer to any type of personal watercraft."



SNOW MOBILE
"Snow machine land vehicle for winter travel on snow designed to be operated on snow and ice, they require no road or trail."



HANG GLIDING
"Air sports in which pilot flies a light and unmotorized foot launchable aircraft called Hang Glider. (also known as Delta plane or Deltaplane)."



CAVING
"Recreational past time of exploring wild (non commercial) cave systems. The challenges involved in the activity depend on the cave being visited, but often include the negotiation of pitches, squeezes, and water (although actual cavediving is a separate sub-specialty undertaken only by very few cavers)."
