Water Sports - Get Active This Summer

When it comes to summer fun, you want to make sure that you are adding in some much-needed water sports. With the water sports, you will be sure to make sure that you are getting the fun, the exercise and the excitement that you want and need. Of course, there are plenty to pick from so you might find yourself having a little trouble picking the right one for your needs. For some people, there is no choice to make because they do everything they can to experience it all.

You could water ski or ride jet skis. You could go bouncing around in a tube or you could go sailing. There is plenty to do and of course, it is going to take some work on your part. This is where the exercise comes in. Do not make the mistake of assuming that just because you are not going to the gym that there is not a workout involved. You will find that after a long day on the water that you are a little worn out, and it won't be just because of the sun and heat.

Now, if you do not own any fancy equipment for the water, there is no need to panic. There are a lot of places that will rent jet skis and such. If you want to save money, start asking around as one of your friends and member of your family might have exactly what you are looking for.

Maybe you're lucky enough to have a friend that has a boat. If this is the case there are a lot of things you can do like, go fishing, water skiing, water tubing and just hanging out at the lake. If you look at any lake in the summer time you will see a lot of action on the lake. People just love being around the water.

If you ever have a chance to do some white water rafting you should give it a try. Talk about some exciting times and also having to maintain control and coordination while managing the river. This can be exhausting and a lot of fun!

It is important to make sure that you are doing your best to make sure that you are learning about all of the safety rules. Even the best swimmers can end up in terrible life threatening situations if they do not have knowledge of the water sport they are participating in.

Water Sports - Four Things You Should Know Before You Try Bodyboarding

So you've obtained a bodyboard and are ready to try some ocean sports. What should you think about to insure the safest and most fun surfing experience?

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Because of the easy beginning learning curve you may be tempted to try swimming out in conditions that are beyond your control. Maybe the surf is too powerful or breaking too far from shore for your swimming experience. Maybe that particular beach has rocks or reef that may harm you if you make a mistake while learning. Become familiar with beach postings and talk to lifeguards if the beach or conditions are unfamiliar to you.

USE PROPER SWIM FINS

Fins are used by all but a select few bodyboarders. Relying on arm strength alone is not recommended. Since bodyboards are not as fast as surfboards you will expend much more energy to travel less distance using only your arms. With fins you can switch between arm paddling and leg kicking to avoid exhausting your muscle strength. It is also much easier to catch waves while kicking with fins since you can use your arms to help "push" your board forward and into the wave.

Use only fins designed for water sports like bodyboarding that take place in the surf zone. Diving fins are not designed for surfing activities. There are two problems with fins designed for diving: the length of the blade makes it difficult to generate speed fast enough to catch a moving wave and they may be torn off of your feet by the turbulence of the breaking waves.

UNDERSTAND THE MOTION IN THE OCEAN

Every beach has it's own distinct characteristics, though these may change with the surf conditions. Waves may break in specific locations or in specific directions. There may be currents could help you get out past the breaking waves or if you are not aware (or in conditions that exceed your limitations) sweep you away from the beach. Incorrect responses to ocean conditions may zap your energy or turn a manageable situation into one that requires rescue. Many beaches have piers or rock jetties that can either help shape the waves or present dangerous obstacles.

UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE RULES OF WAVE RIDING

Chances are you won't be alone in the ocean. There are "unwritten" rules of priority shared by both bodyboarding and surfing. Following these rules not only maintain a sense of harmony in these water sports, they also minimize the chance of injuring you and your fellow wave riders.

Now it's time to have some fun, so go catch some waves!

Steve Alexander ([http://www.fullforcebodyboarding.com]) is a seasoned bodyboarder with 20 years experience riding waves in California, Mexico, and Hawaii. Connections with bodyboard manufacturers including Element Bodyboarding and JL Designs have also given him insight into production aspects and he has custom-designed many of his own bodyboards.

Water Sport Holiday in Mauritius

The island of Mauritius, with its white powdery sand and pristine beaches, is just the perfect getaway and engage in various water sport activities. Located in the midst of the Indian Ocean, it is a prime tourist attraction with tourists from all parts of the world converging in this paradise island.

Mainly a destination for beach lovers, a holiday in Mauritius can now be a full-scale water sport event for the more athletic ones. A wide range of water sport activities can keep anyone's itinerary busy, entertaining and even extremely thrilling.

The waters surrounding the island allows for a broad range of water sports such as snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, deep sea fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, jet skiing, sub-water walk, motorboat journeys, parasailing and much more.

For those who are not comfortable to go to deep waters, snorkeling is ideal. Most of the snorkeling spots are close to the sea and some of the best ones are just within the rocky shorelines. For those who does not want to take a dip in the waters, glass bottomed boats can be hired to provide very clear glimpses of the marine life and corals underneath.

A more adventurous activity during a holiday in Mauritius is windsurfing. It is popular among adventure seekers and the perfect conditions of the Mauritian waters are sure to get their adrenaline's running high.

Moreover, the water conditions are always excellent for sailing. Exploring the island on a sailing cruise aboard a yacht gives a unique charm and enchanting moment.

The sea also provides a rich source of very good catch for anglers. They are sure to have their best time hunting for marlins, barracudas, tunas and sharks.

Finally, the Undersea Stroll is a must for those who seek something out of the ordinary. This allows one to walk on the seabed in weighted boots and dive helmet that is connected to a top-side air supply. This is truly going to be a walk to remember for anyone.

African Kenya Water Sports - 5 Most Popular Kenya Sports in Shimoni

Shimoni & Wasini Vacation Island

The village of Shimoni sits at the tip of a peninsula about 76km south of Likoni. Dhow trips to Wasini Island and Kisite Marine National Park have become a big industry here, and every morning in high season a convoy of coaches arrives carrying tourists from the resorts at Diani Beach. The trips are well run, but you can easily organise your own trip directly with the boat men.

It's worth waiting until the day trippers have gone home to explore Shimoni, as the dusty streets have their own unique atmosphere outside tourist times. Villagers have opened up the old slave caves as a tourist attraction with a custodian who'll take you around the dark caverns to illustrate this little-discussed part of east African history.

Actual evidence that slaves were kept here is a little thin, but as the pile of empty votive rose water bottles indicates, even today the site definitely has significance for more superstitious locals.

Wasini Island, too, becomes even more appealing in the peace of the evening. There are no roads or running water and the only electricity comes from generators. There are several worthwhile things to see, including some ancient Swahili ruins and the coral gardens, a bizarre landscape of exposed coral reefs with board walk for viewing. Most people come here on organised dhow trips from Diani.

Kisite Marine National Park

Just off the south coast of Wasini Island, this marine park is one of the best in Kenya, also incorporating the Mpunguti Marine national Reserve. The park covers 28 sq km of pristine coral reefs and offers excellent diving and snorkeling. You have a reasonable chance of seeing dolphins in the Shimoni channel, and the humpback whales are sometimes spotted between august and October.

There are various organised trips to the marine park but these tend to be outside ventures and don't always contribute a great deal to the local community. Its easy to organise your own boat trip with a local captain-the going rate is Kshs 1500 per person or 6,000 per boat including lunch and a walk in the coral gardens on Wasini Island.

Masks and snorkels can be hired for Kshs 200 (fins are discouraged as they may damage the coral reef).

A good place to start looking for a boat-man is at the office of KWS which is about 200m south of the main pier, where you'll also have to come to pay the entry fee. The best time to dive and snorkel is between October and March. Avoid diving in July and August because of rough seas and poor visibility.

5 Top Kenya Water Safari Sports and Activities

1. Snorkeling and Diving

Masks and snorkels are available for rent on the beach for Kshs 100. You'll need a boat to get out to the reef. Most trips to the park provide their own snorkeling gear. Certified divers can take dives with local tour companies, or more expensively at the coral reef Lodge or Pemba channel fishing club. Dive courses and longer scuba safaris are also possible in the Pemba channel.

2. Deep sea fishing

The Pemba channel is famous for deep-sea fishing, and Pemba channel fishing club holds over 50% of Kenya's marlin- fishing records. Boats cost from USD 500 for nine hours (valid for up to four fishers). This company promotes tag and release which I strongly encourage as an eco-friendly measure.

3. Diving Tours in Shimoni on Kenya coast

Various companies offer organised dhow tours for snorkeling, all leaving Shimoni by 9am. Transfers from North -and south- coast hotels are available. (US$10 TO 20), and longer trips with overnights stays can also be arranged. Children pay half the adult price. Certified divers can take one/two scuba dives for an extra US$30/50 with any of these companies.

4. Swimming with Dolphins in Kenya Coast

The friends of Kenya Dolphins have set up the Dolphin Dhow, a dolphin -spotting and snorkeling trip around Wasini Island. The dhow leaves from Shimoni jetty at 8.45am daily and costs US$75. The price includes snorkeling equipment, drinks, a Swahili seafood lunch and the marine park fees.

5. Kisite Dhow Tours

The Kisite dhow tours runs a popular eco-tourist snorkeling trips to the marine park, including a nature walk on Wasini and a very good seafood lunch at Charlie's claw's original Wasini Island restaurant. Trips cost US$ 55 from Shimoni jetty, or US$ 75 with breakfast, drinks and visits to the coral gardens and slave caves.

6. Pilli-Pipa

This is another expat-owned company offering full day trips. The price is US$80 from Shimoni, including lunch, park fees, snorkeling and drinks. Diving trips are available at US$ 130/$145 for one/two dives.

7. Paradise Divers

Based in Diani also offers similar trips for US$ 80.

Montreal Boat and Water Sports Show - Top 5 Most Frequently Asked Questions at This Year's Boat Show

The month of January is always the start of the Boat Show season across North America. To start off the boat show season, the 2011 Montreal Boat and Water Sports Show, happening January 27 - 31.

The show is located at the Place Bonaventure 800, De La Gaucheti?re West Metro Station: Bonaventure and Square-Victoria.

I recently caught up with Yves Paquette, General Manager of the Maritime Association of Quebec and I had an opportunity to ask a few questions about this year's show;

1. What would you say is a must "how-to seminar" to take in during this year's boat show?

Everyone can find a conference that meets his needs at the Boat and Water Sports Show. Though Louis Charbonneau's conference on Heavy Weather Sailing, as well as water skiing and wakeboard Canadian champion Guillaume Par?'s one on Boat Driving Tips for Water Sports are definite must-see during this year's event, one must notice the number of great seminars that are not "how-to seminars".

Speakers with various backgrounds will address the visitors on topics enjoyed by crowds sharing different interests. Adventure lovers will enjoy the tale of Justin Bulota and his Kite surfing Expedition Following the St-Lawrence Water Trail or Myl?ne Paquette's account of Rowing across the Atlantic 2, 700 Nautical Miles solo from Quebec to France. Sailing-maniacs will seek to hear more from well known George Leblanc, while fishermen from all arrays will benefits from celebrity fisherman Patrick Campeau's tips on How to Get the Most Out of Fishing Time.

2. What has always been or will be the "most popular exhibit"?

New trends and products is what catch the attention of visitors. This year we expect the Triumph indestructible boat, which can float on as few as 2 foot of water, to raise a lot of interest. The LTS electric motor should also be a big favorite. With its capacity of reaching up to 50 km an hour, it is an important breakthrough in terms of electrical propulsion. Another good example would be the HRV Liberty pontoon from Southland, which literally consists in a 3-seasons Boat House featuring notably solar panels and a wind turbine.

3. In your opinion the "number 1 attraction" of this year's show.

As mentioned, the force of the Boat and Water Sports Show lies in its great amount of new products on display:

From the luxurious Prestige yacht from Jeanneau, to the incredibly all-inclusive HRV Liberty pontoon from Southland, visitors will be thrilled by all the exhibitors.

If there had to be a Top 5 of all the attractions, it would be:

Jeanneau's Prestige yacht
HRV Liberty pontoon
The new LTS electric motor
The wide selection of trawlers, among which Cape Island, Mainship, etc.
All the new pontoons on the market which are getting more comfortable by the years.

4. Answer to your most "frequently asked question" about this year's show.

The question we answer every year is whether we will have big boats on site. Big boat lovers will be happy to know that such brands as Doral, Mainship, Bayliner and Catalina will be part of the show this year again.

5. What is "new" at this year's show?

The indestructible boat by Triumph will draw lots of attention, especially fisherman. The speed of the LTS electric motor will be popular. Boat Show attendees will be blown away when they see the Southland HRV Liberty Pontoon Boat- HRV stands for Hybrid Recreational Vessel. It is one cool looking pontoon boat.

Sounds like another great show this year Yves, thanks for sharing some time with us.

Jet Boarding - A Fun New Sport

Jet boarding is not particularly a new sport, but one that is just starting to gain a wider recognition. Power skiing as it is often called, is when you take a jet-enter out into the open water to play. It is a combination of waterskiing, snow boarding, wind surfing and surfing all in one amazingly fun sport. The jet-enter itself is a jet-powered surfboard that you stand on and it will propel you at speeds of up to 70km/h. It is one of those sports that is simple enough that even the novice can figure it out, but is challenging enough to keep a skilled jet-entered er entertained.

Jet boarding is a unique combination of surfing while attempting to steer a board that you stand on. Since it is jet powered, the likeliness of staying on the first few times you try, are unlikely, however, you do get the hang of it once you have given it a few goes. People that have tried it claim that the most fun thing about the sport is that you stand on a board and are jet propelled across the water by your own inertia on the water. Not only is it a lot of fun, but standing up is simple enough that anyone can eventually do it with some practice, and those that are seasoned riders still come back for more because it is so much fun.

Half the fun of jet boarding is falling off. Each time you get up again, you can try using it in a different way since it is comprised of so many different sports. There is no right or wrong way to jet-enter, which makes it half the fun. Because jet boarding is considered to be the water sport of the new millennium, there is not really a gaming sport about it. There are no competitions, it is not known worldwide like waterskiing or surfing, and there is not any way to set rules to playing such a game as jet boarding is so many various water sports combined.

The Jet Board has an easy to use control that is designed to help teach the ride balance and buoyancy so that staying afloat is not a problem. Learning to take turns at high speed and learning to do all sorts of neat tricks while jet boarding is what makes it such a fun challenge for seasoned water sport enthusiasts. Learning to take a turn at 70km/h while using your hand as a hydroplane with your feet firmly in front of you instead of underneath you is a fun challenge that any water sport enthusiast should try at least once. Other tricks that many seasoned jet boarders enjoy include nose riding, tandem riding, wave riding, and even wave sailing, which is the ultimate challenge for any jet boarder.

So far, there is a 100% stand up rate for first time riders. Although. Standing up the first time is the only things that jet boarding can claim 100%. As fun as this new water sport is, it is not as easy as you may think!

A Great Place For Your Favorite Water Sport - Hilton Head

Hilton Head Island isn't just about tennis and golf. Chances are, if you have a favorite water sport, the island not only offers it, but offers it in the unique and beautiful waters that can only be found here. For those who prefer a faster-paced, adrenaline-fueled water sport, the local scene offers waterskiing, jet skiing, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, and more. Of course, not everyone is looking for a rush, preferring instead to experience the island's beauty at a slower pace. For them, Hilton Head offers activities such as fishing and boating. Anyone wanting to experience their favorite water sport in a unique location should definitely check out what this island has to offer.

Probably the fastest-paced water sport Hilton Head has to offer is jet skiing, perfect for anyone seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush on the island's gorgeous waters. You feel the water and the wind rushing past you as you ride the motorized personal watercraft of your choice standing up. Another great option for those who prefer sitting down is a wave runner, which is identical except that the motorized personal watercraft comes equipped with a seat. If you don't have your own equipment for either water sport, the local community has several companies offering rentals on both types of personal watercraft.

In addition to personal watercrafts, the island offers many other boating experiences as well. If boating is your water sport, Hilton Head's rental companies offer a wide selection of sailboats, motorboats, kayaks, and more. If you are interested in fishing, you can rent that equipment as well or even hire a specialized fishing tour boat. Just make sure you get your fishing license first! Of course, if you want to experience the waves from behind a boat, water skiing equipment is also available.

If surfing is your preferred water sport, Hilton Head offers 12 miles of beaches with great surfing to be had on every single mile. If you would like to combine the thrill of surfing with sailing, windsurfing is a great option. Windsurfers still enjoy riding the waves like surfers, but their sails give them some control over their speed and direction. Of course, the true thrill of windsurfing comes when the wind picks up speed. Instead of just riding the waves, windsurfers who know what they're doing can use the wind to plane the surface of the water, achieving speeds normally only possible with a motor.

If you want to experience something truly unique to the area, you can take advantage of parasailing to get spectacular views of the island and its surroundings. Parasailing is similar to water skiing, except you use a parachute. The speed of the motorboat creates enough wind to life you and your parachute up into the air, allowing you to enjoy Hilton Head's natural beauty from above. While you can parasail almost anywhere there is water, nowhere else can you use it to view the island in all its glory. This is something that every water sport enthusiast visiting and resident to the island should experience.

African Safari Destination - Fishing and Water Sports, Lake Tanganyika, Zambia

Although Lake Tanganyika is of great importance to Zambia, only a small tip of the lake is actually within its borders. This small tip is enough to make it a Zambian adventure holiday destination built around fishing and water based activities. The lake serves a greater purpose too - it provides a real port to an otherwise landlocked country, providing a key link to Tanzania and Burundi. The result is that this part of Zambia has a very distinctive feel about it, a kind of tropical, exotic Central African feel if there is such a thing!

Geographically the lake is of great interest to scientists since it is the deepest of Central Africa's rift valley lakes with its deepest point about 1,470m. It is 34,000km2 with tropical surface waters with an average 26 degrees Celsius. The area of specific interest for researchers is the colder water far below the penetration of natural light and the even deeper water that is deprived of oxygen.

Fishing is the main activity to be found here - over 450 different species have been found in the lake! Lake Tanganyika is renowned for the sheer variety of fish that can be caught here. Anglers come here in search of the goliath tiger fish, nkupi and Nile perch and anglers will be glad to know that a single visit can result in catching a dozen different fish species. The best time to fish here is between November and March and people come to fish by rod and line with fly fishing becoming more popular. The annual fishing competition held in March is also a great attraction where you will be warmly welcomed.

Water based activities include snorkelling and diving due to the lakes large number of magnificently coloured fish found in quite shallow waters. Visibility is known to vary but it is known to be as good as 10-20m in some areas. A series of cliffs and drop offs between Sumbu and Mpulungu are well known by divers and prove very popular.

Part and parcel of water sports are the risks, many of which can be avoided. The Tanganyika water cobra which can grow up to 2m is venomous but non aggressive. Many visitors fear crocodiles and hippos but the rocky shores, clear water and lack of hiding cover discourage these from the lake although they are not unseen. They are more commonly encountered near the mouths of rivers and in the quieter parts of the Sumbu National Park. Crocodiles and hippos are known but localised. There is also the possibility of Bilharzia but there is much doubt about its existence here. Following such information some visitors may not step foot in the sparkling waters but exploration of authentic natural environments does not come with buttons to control it! The reality is people swim, fish and explore Lake Tanganyika on a daily basis and come to no harm. The trick is to ask your guides, lodge owners and the locals who know the area well.

There is a growing number of lake side lodges dotting the shoreline but what is attractive is that they still 'dot' the shoreline not take it over. Visits here are still very authentic, perfect for the traveller with an eye for the real thing and a mind for exploration. You will get comfort and luxury here but you can't control the nature that surrounds you and that is the beauty of it.

Understanding the Types of Water Sports Towables

Water Sports Towables are fast becoming the number one water activity for families and thrill seekers alike this season. With their ease of use, versatility, affordability and just plain fun factor there really is a tubing towable that is a perfect fit for just about anyone.

There is a seemingly endless array of awesome designs in colors and shapes of the water sports towables available on the market today. But, no matter how crazy the aesthetics of the water tubes, knowing what kind of ride you want to experience is really one of the more important factors in determining which type of water towable you choose for yourself and your family.

Here is a run down of the basic types of Water Sports Towables:

STANDARD/ROUND/DONUT TUBING TOWABLES: These are the traditional shaped towables that look like an inflated inner tube. They can be ridden by laying on top of the donut for a more exciting ride or by sitting in the hole for a more secure feeling. These standard watersports towables offer hand grips and can be ridden by one or several riders depending on the design and are usually the most economical of the tubing towables.

DECK TUBING TOWABLES: These towables are more flat and look like an inflated mattress. Perfect for the thrill seekers, on this tubing towable, the rider(s) lies on their stomach and holds on with their face very close to the water. This gives them the feeling of speed that they crave. Due to the flat shape of this water sports towable, it also tends to catch air more easily going over wakes and during quick turns making the ride more exciting and challenging.

RIDE-IN TUBING TOWABLES: These watersports towables can accommodate up to 4 riders at once which is great for a family or group of friends to enjoy together. In this configuration, the riders sit on the floor or "cockpit" of the tubing towable, much like in a small boat, and are surrounded by the sides of the towable. Often the floor is inflated also so the ride is quite comfortable and smooth. This is a perfect water sports towable for younger children or those adults who prefer a ride of comfort and security over thrills and spills.

RIDE-ON TUBING TOWABLES: These water sport towables are most often in an elongated shape-much like a torpedo or giant hot dog and can hold up to 6 riders at once. In this case, the riders sit on top of the water tube. Due to the high center of gravity, there tend to be a lot of rollovers and lots of laughs to go with it. These towables are great for large groups of all ages.

SPECIALTY TUBING TOWABLES: These water sports towables can include kites in which the riders are lifted into the air, towables that riders actually are completely inside of, water towables that spin or rock and many others. These require riders with more physical skill and a higher level of thrill seeking.

There are a tremendous variety of water tubes to choose from on the market today. Once you've decided on the type of ride you'd like to experience, you're sure to find the perfect Water Sports Towable for you this season.

At PlayfulInflatables.com you are sure to find the perfect Water Sports Towable among the large selection of fun and exciting designs.

They also carry other fun water related activities like Family Above Ground Swimming Pools, Kid's Inflatable Pools and

Swimming Pool Floats, Slides and Games.

Wakeboarding - An Awesome Water Sport

Wakeboarding is an adrenaline pumping water sport, which combines water skiing, snowboarding and surfing techniques. Wakeboarding involves riding a board on a surface of water, while being towed by a motorboat. The speed of the motorboat depends on many things, such as the rider's experience, the water conditions, the board size, etc.

The Board:

Boards for this sport are buoyant, and their core is usually made up of foam or honeycomb mixed with resin and coated with fiberglass. Also, metal screws are fitted in the board to enable riders to attach fins and bindings according to their preference. A rider may alter the fins according to his/her needs For instance; shallow fins are best suited for surface tricks. Manufacturers producing newer lines of boards are experimenting with the shape and material to reduce the drag and ensure a smooth wake boarding experience.

The Motorboat:

Although it is possible to use any motorboat that can achieve a minimum speed of about 18mph, it is advisable to use a motorboat especially constructed to meet the needs of wakeboarding. A major difference between a regular motorboat and a wakeboarding boat is the presence of the wakeboarding tower. The wakeboarding tower is normally constructed of thick-walled stainless steel or aluminum tubing.

There is a pull-point situated on the wake boarding tower, about 7feet from the water's surface. A high pull-point gives the rider more control and makes it easier for the rider to maneuver. Another unique feature of the wakeboard motorboat is that the engine is rotated 180 degrees and placed in the front of the boat. This enables better weight distribution and also ensures the rider's safety.

Basics of Boarding:

Before beginning their boarding experience, it is essential to have good quality equipment and an experienced driver. Nothing can ruin a boarding experience like an inexperienced driver! Once all the equipment is set, you must figure out which 'foot forward' you are. You must figure out with which foot forward are you most comfortable. The bindings also must be adjusted according to your height and your comfort level. The bindings must be well secured. Most boards come with pre-attached fins. You must make sure these fins are tightly secured. Long fins give a feeling of stability in the water. While shorter fins give a looser feeling and provides more freedom to maneuver in the water. Longer fins are recommended for beginners.

Wakeboarding Maneuvers:

Once the basics of wake boarding have been mastered, it is time to take your skill to the new level. Mastering these maneuvers requires patience and can be dangerous if proper safety measures are not in place. Thus, it is advisable to always have an experienced mentor and driver, and also always wear a life vest. Some of the most popular wake boarding maneuvers are:

o Fashion Air

o Surface 360

o Front roll

o Back roll

o Air Krypt

Five Steps to Losing Weight Doing the Sports Activities You Love

Like a lot of people I have a hard time working hard and staying consistent doing exercise I don't like and don't really want to do.

I know for myself that if I want to lose weight and keep it off while doing my water sports activities I have to follow all five steps below or I risk no results. If you love doing your sport why not also get some health benefits and feel really good about yourself.

Number one: Get very consistent at making time in your schedule daily or at least a few times weekly and get out and do it. With water sports it can require more effort and organization than say tennis or running, bicycling or other sports. Since most of us don't live right at the beach or have a swimming pool in our yard, we have get to the water. If the water is cold we have to get into a wetsuit and other gear to be safe and comfortable. All the action and effort of getting your self out and organizing your gear combines with your sport to help you to lose weight.

Number two: When you are out there enjoying your sport, work hard at it, set some goals and increase what you can do in the time you have so you are working as hard as you can. To lose weight with a sport you have to push and play all out as much as possible. If you are doing your sport with a buddy or a team leverage off of them by having friendly competition.

Number three: Be sure you have the right sports gear for your specific sport. It is a lot harder to play all out if the gear you have is inadequate and holding you back. You simply can't get the most push for your effort which will not translate to trimming weight.

Number four: You have to eat correctly, I used to play the game with myself that if I really played hard and put out a lot of energy then I could or deserved to eat the comfort foods like junk food, desert or just simply foods that I know will put weight on my body. I erased the weight loss benefit of performing my water sport to the max. I finally got the message that it's always the combination of the exercise and the right food choices that lose weight and keep it off.

Number five: Having fun while I lose and then control my weight is what I call a win win. Doing a water sport or any sport for that matter and also lose weight is in my opinion so much better that struggling doing something you don't like and would otherwise not do. So I have as much fun as possible, I just work hard and eat right and I know I can control my weight on a sustainable basis.

Following the five steps above as an approach to losing weight while playing or performing a sport will work with any sport as long as you are consistent and are willing to work and push toward your limits and always expand your goals.

Top Three Outdoor Water Sports

Water sports are a really fun way to get out, enjoy nature and get some good exercise in the meantime. Most sports are also very social, making them ideal for family vacations or trips with your friends. Whether your next trip is to the ocean, river or lake, you should definitely consider incorporating some of these fun water sports into your vacation.

Waterskiing and Wakeboarding

One really fun activity that you should try next time you head to a big lake is waterskiing or wakeboarding. These two sports require you to have a motorboat with a driver who will drag you around the lake as you skim the surface of the water. If you are more of a skateboarder or snowboarder, consider wakeboarding as it only requires one board attached to your feet instead of two separate skis. You will also need a very good, high quality life vest to keep you afloat before you stand up as well as when you fall.

Scuba Diving

Scuba diving is a fantastic way to see and experience an entirely unique ecosystem. In order to go out on dives, you'll first need to take classes with a diving outfit as well as do a "checkout dive" in order to get certified. Once you have your certification you are free to go diving wherever your heart desires. A lot of dive outfits provide the necessary scuba gear for your dives, but it's a good idea to have a few of your own personal items. You'll want your own mask, snorkel and fins. You may also want to purchase your own wetsuit so that you have the best fit possible. If the idea of going deep under water frightens you, a great alternative is snorkeling. With snorkeling you'll get to see underwater life by just floating around on the surface.

Surfing and Body Boarding

For those of you who love the beach and the excitement of big waves, consider purchasing a surfboard or body board. For beginners, it's a good idea to go with a long board made with a foam top. As you get better and more advanced you'll begin to feel more comfortable on a short board out in the water. For body boarders, there are plenty of really great, advanced, fast boards on the market. Make sure you find one that suits your size and weight and has the features you are looking for. If you plan on tackling really big waves, look into buying a pair of short fins to help you catch the bigger surf.

4 Family Water Sports

It can be hard, with busy everyday lives, to keep a family together and bonded. Vacations are a great opportunity to work on building relationships and bringing everyone back together--unless everyone ends up doing their own thing. If you set off with a specific group activity in mind, like some of the family water sports listed below, you're able to work together on this activity and accomplish something together. The activities listed here vary in intensity, skill level, and cost so there should be something that will work for your circumstances.

White water rafting is a fun, thrilling activity that really requires everyone to work together. If you haven't done this before it's much safer to go with a guide who will safely help you through. This is definitely something everyone will go away remembering and talking about for years to come, which ensures it's success as a bonding activity.

If you're looking for something just as thrilling, but with a little less skill required, try towable tubes. These are towed behind a boat and can hold one rider, or up to a dozen. Getting one of the ones that holds multiple riders gives more of a chance for bonding. The ride can easily be compared to riding a roller coaster, fast, fun, thrilling! The only real skill required here is the ability to swim in case you fall off (but please make sure you can all swim before trying any water sports) and hang on tight to the inflatable.

If these aren't really your speed, consider a canoeing or kayaking trip. Everyone will have to work together, paddling their way down a river or around a lake, making it an easy way to bond, and you'll have fun figuring it all out together. This is something you can easily do on your own (unlike the white water rafting) but make sure everyone wears a life vest in case of accidents.

There's not a better way to bond with your family than on the water, any of these family water sports should bring you closer together while having a great time.

The Columbia River Gorge - The Location For Water Sports You May Not Know About

Bondai Beach, Waikiki, the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon; do you know what they all have in common? All three locations offer some of the best water sports action in the world.

Although when you think of great water sports destinations Oregon may not be the first place that you consider, but it certainly merits such. In Oregon you will find the majestic Columbia River Gorge, a winding landscape that stretches for almost 80 miles and creates a physical border between Oregon and its neighbor, Washington. The winding Columbia River Highway provides the most spectacular drive for motorists, and avid motorcyclists make the trip from all over the country to ride along it.

But for those who would rather be on the river than simply admire it the Columbia River Gorge hosts all manner of great water sports activities. Whether you prefer a gentle row boat trip along calm waters or a hurtling ride through the wild white waters, you can indulge your desires all along the Gorge and on its surrounding waters.

Canoeing and kayaking are very popular pursuits all along the Columbia River Gorge, with guided trips available that range from quietly bobbing along calm backwaters to the thrill of crashing down through some of the best whitewaters and rapids to be found in the country, meaning that there is something for everyone, whatever their courage level.

For those whose sporting tastes run more along the lines of the X games than the Olympics the fact that the Columbia River Gorge is a kite surfing Mecca should be of great interest. Kite surfing - which can be best described as the product of Bart Simpson's wildest dreams - relies a great deal upon the direction of the winds, and the conditions in the Columbia River Gorge are considered to be almost perfect by enthusiasts, an opinion shared by legions of windsurfing enthusiasts in the U.S. who gather in the Gorge annually for the U.S. Windsurfing National Championships every August.

For the fisherman the Columbia River Gorge and its surrounding lakes and ponds is a real playground as well. From walleye to small mouth bass, wilderness lake trout to coho the variation in the fish population is sure to please even the keenest angler. Some of the sturgeons in the Gorge's waters have been known to grow up to ten feet, and catching them can be a real challenge, as they prefer to lurk deep in the waters, as they have for thousands of years.

However, if getting wet is not your idea of the best day out, the Columbia River Gorge is still well worth the trip. Along its path there are unique boutiques and gift shops to peruse and quaint restaurants to explore. Even the simple act of admiring the grandeur of the scenery all around the area is an experience in itself.

For those looking for great water sports action, missing out on the opportunities for aquatic adventure provided by the Columbia River Gorge would be a real mistake. This eighty mile stretch of water has something for everyone.

Women's Wetsuits - For Women Who Love Water Sports

Women who love to participate in water sports and activities such as kayaking, surfing, and diving need a women's wetsuit. A quality wetsuit, commonly made of 60% neoprene, prevents body heat loss and can come in various designs and material compositions for different water temperature conditions. Wetsuits trap body heat, especially when the water temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A good wetsuit should follow the contours of the body correctly for a comfortable feel. A perfect wetsuit fit allows the wearer to move as naturally and freely as possible while a loose wetsuit collects water inside it and can have diminished insulating ability when submerged underwater. There is no such thing as a wetsuit that is meant to be baggy.

This being said, a men's wetsuit are totally different from a women's wetsuit for very obvious reason. The male physique is not like the curves of female body. Some women prefer two piece wetsuits because they prefer the fit and convenience of two pieces. But when it comes to safety and efficiency in trapping body heat, the one piece wetsuit does offer some advantages, although one piece wetsuits can be more difficult to put on. There are also a few types of wetsuits that you can choose from including the full body wetsuits that cover and protect the arms, legs and body. Some full body wetsuits come with a hood used commonly for scuba diving or extremely cold conditions. Full wetsuits are perfect for cold water temperatures or if you plan to stay submerged in water for a long period of time.

If you are planning to buy a women's wetsuit, make sure you are getting the right thickness. A full wetsuit has to have thicker lining in the chest area to better protect the body against heat loss. Wetsuits that cover just part of the arms, the body and down to the knees is good for warmer waters but a full body wetsuit is good for colder water temperatures especially if you engage in water activities during fall season when winds are cold and water temperature drops dramatically. It is also a common misconception that wetsuits are not needed in warm tropical waters; however water easily get colder than is comfortable especially in the mornings and late afternoons. A swimsuit is not enough if you plan to surf or wakeboard for extended periods of time. But often a women's wetsuit "shorty" will do just fine in tropical waters.

For a more flattering appearance, women's wetsuits are now more stylish with a variety of color combinations that can enhances the appearance of your figure. Wetsuits for women are not purely black anymore, although it is still the predominant color. Most women also find wetsuits uncomfortable, but worry no more, since manufacturers have seen this need for wetsuits cut to fit the female form and have developed wetsuits with great designs and accessories specifically for women and even girls. Aside from the cold, if you want to protect your skin from corals and rocks while kayaking, snorkeling, or scuba diving, wetsuits come in really handy. So invest in one as soon as you get the chance before heading for the waters again. Remember that safety is the priority above anything else.

Destin Water Sports: 7 Exciting Activities to Try on Your Next Destin Vacation

Destin, Florida, once a quiet fishing village, has become one of the top travel destinations in the Untied States. The lure of the sugar white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico draw tens of thousands of visitors from across the world each year to enjoy the area's beauty, and in particular to enjoy the water. Here is a list of the top seven water sport activities to try to get the most out of your Destin vacation. Whether you rent a boat and pack in all the fun in one day or try various activities throughout your stay, you will truly enjoy your time on the water!

1. Go fishing- Destin is known for its many waterways and ample supply of fish, earning it the reputation of the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village". Not surprisingly, fishing is one of the biggest draws to the area. You can find fishing charters and fishing boat rentals to get you out on the water to where the fish are biting.

Charter boats can find an abundance of grouper, red snapper, amberjack, triggerfish, and scamp while bottom fishing. While trolling, you can fish for sailfish, Wahoo, blue marlin, mahi, king mackerel, and various kinds of tuna. Cobia fishing is another popular sport amongst fisherman along the Emerald Coast.

You can also rent a fishing boat or pontoon boat and fish the Choctawhatchee Bay and its adjacent bayous year-round for a variety of fish such as Flounder, Redfish, Speckled Trout, White Trout, Bluefish, and Sheepshead.

2. Anchor at Crab Island- The area known as "Crab Island" is actually not an island at all, but an underwater sandbar. It is one of the most popular hangouts in Destin in the summer months. Many people anchor their boats and enjoy the beautiful emerald green waters for which Destin is known. On most summer weekends, bands play on floating stages, children bounce on a water trampoline or slide down an inflatable slide, and people spend their days relaxing in the sun. Floating restaurants and mobile food vendors complete the unique scene at Crab Island.

3. Snorkel the Jetties- The Destin jetties were constructed by the US Corps of Engineers in 1969 to protect the East Pass from erosion from the Gulf of Mexico. They consist of large rocks placed on top of one another and form a reef barrier, and have become one of the area's most well known landmarks and hottest snorkeling destinations. The jetties offer a habitat for fish and other sea creatures. The crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide an excellent view of marine life including thousands of fish, different species of crabs, and the occasional sea turtle, manatee, and stingray.

Watch the sunset or see fireworks over the Destin Harbor- Enjoy beautiful views of the sun slipping across the sky and sinking over the water to the west, the colors of the sky echoed in the reflection of the water which glitters with gold, crimson, burnt orange, and turquoise. Destin sunsets are truly beautiful and are even more enjoyable to watch from the water. On Thursday nights during the summer months, there are firework displays over the Destin Harbor, and the picturesque views of the sunset are replaced with the bright bursts of color against the night sky. These views are a fantastic way to relax at the end of a full day of enjoying the water.

Choosing The Right Water Sports Towable

Water Sports Towables are quickly becoming the favorite water sports activity for teens, adults and families alike. Because there is actually very little skill involved, grabbing an exciting speed ride on a watersports towable (aka tubing towables) can be enjoyed by fun seekers of all ages and sizes.

So how do you know which Water Sports Towable is right for you and your family?

Today the exciting variety of choices of hot new designs of water tubing towables and are seemingly endless. They run the spectrum from the simple traditional round donut shape to the more aerodynamic V-shapes, elongated or side-by-side ride-on shapes that hold several riders at once or the round ride-ons that also spin for the ultimate in water fun. Therefore, knowing what kind of ride you want to experience can help you to choose the right tubing towable for you.

Another thing to consider before choosing your watersports towable is how many riders you'll have at any time. It's really not considered a good ride or best safety standards to have only one rider on a 3 person water towable for example. And, obviously, you don't want to overload a water sports towable with too many people or extra weight as it would put too much strain on the handle grips, tow ropes and stress points of the tubing towable-making the ride unsafe.

If you want to make this a family experience however, there are some great water sports towables that seat 3, 4 even 5 riders at once and are an awesome way to spend a weekend at the lake with family and friends.

Age of your riders is also an important consideration in deciding on the water sports towable that is right for your family. For younger children, there are several water towable designs available that allow riders to sit on an inflated floor in a cockpit giving them a much more stable and safer feeling ride. Also, bigger tubing towables tend to give a slower ride through the water due to their drag, again, giving a safer feeling for the younger rider.

Older teens or adults, however, may want a more thrill packed experience and a watersports towable that is lighter, V-shaped and made for one rider can give them the speed and excitement they crave.

In choosing your towable, don't forget to think about what you'll be using to pull it with. Tubing towables can be pulled easily by motor boats and most jet skis. But, depending on the size and weight of your water sports towable and the additional weight of your riders, your ride experience can be greatly affected. Always follow the safety recommendations in the owner's manual of your tubing towable as to weight limits and restrictions.

There are many important factors to consider in choosing the right water sport towable for you and your family. Sometimes, though, it all boils down to personal preference. The graphics on the tubing towables that are on the market today are amazing and the color choices are fantastic. There is certainly no shortage of spectacular designs to choose from: Primary colors? Neon? The one that matches your boat or jet ski? Whichever one you choose, you and your friends and family are sure to have endless hours of fun on your new watersports towable.

www.PlayfulInflatables.com offers a large variety of fun designs of water sports towables as well as above ground pools, inflatable swimming pools and pool floats, games, slides & water trampolines to keep your family cool and happy this season.
