Kiteboarding - The Extreme Water Sport

If you ever have craved for an extreme water sport that combines all the elements in one gig, then look no further. Kiteboarding has taken extreme sports to another level. Unlike other water-based sports that rely completely on waves for propulsion or even speedboats to drag them, kiteboarding relies on the strong winds and waves.  There is probably no other sport that can brag about that. And if you've seen kiteboarders on the beach, then you probably know what I am talking about.

Kiteboarding is a hybrid of different water sports like surfing, windsurfing and wake boarding. Put them all together and you get this adrenaline filled activity. The rider is pulled by the wind, and this enables anyone who's doing this to literally fly over the waves creating a long maximum hang time. And if that was not enough, the waves also play a key part in adding maneuvers and tricks to do while cruising on the water. But this sport isn't just limited to the water, as there are some individuals that use modified equipment for land. So the possibilities of this new sport are endless.

But before you try it out and go straight to the beach, I highly recommend that you learn all the basics needed for your own safety.  There are some people that immediately buy the equipment and disregard any suggestions on getting kite surfing lessons. And without a sold background and even a slight idea of how to control the kiteboard, they set out to the sea, confident that they could pull it. Of course, this is just a disaster waiting to happen, as they are unprepared to read weather conditions, manage waves and basically control their direction.

Learning the sport isn't a problem. There are a lot of qualified instructors that provide kite surfing lessons. Though some may charge prices differently and varies from coast to coast, most offer the same approach in order for a beginner to get started.  This method works best for those that have no idea on what kiteboarding is, and hiring a professional instructor can help you get started quicker than self-taught kiteboarders. You may even learn some tricks and secrets from an instructor.

Another option that you can look into is by researching through the internet, there are some sites that offer kite surfing lessons DVD and instructional books that give a complete background and the basics in kite boarding. Since most of us may not have the time to stay on the beach always, buying an instruction book on kite surfing lessons is the next best thing. Not only are you learning while you're at home or reading during lunch breaks at work, but also this certainly can supplement what you are learning from instructors.

And with a level of commitment in practicing and learning all the moves, you can be sure that by devoting a significant time in mastering all that the lessons required, the next time you show up on the beach you can take all your skills and show it to your friends.

Is It A Sport, Is It A Plane, No It's Roller Hockey

Roller Hockey

The sport of hockey has many variations, including the Olympic sports of ice hockey and field hockey. Roller Hockey however, has also gained in popularity, as a recreational activity and as a competitive sport. It is an extremely fast sport, exciting for spectators to watch, and demanding a lot of skill.

There are two distinct disciplines within the sport, with their own equipment and rules. The original Roller Hockey is played, using traditional quad roller skates. When inline skates were invented, the new Inline Hockey evolved. Both sports are played in many countries but the US and Canada favor Inline Hockey. The different choice of skates results in a different skating style. There is more intricate footwork in Quad Hockey and it is easier for the players to maneuver. Inline Hockey contains more racing around and is similar to Ice Hockey action.

The goalies differ in that they use different gloves for each sport. Inline Hockey goalies use a catch glove, whereas Quad Hockey goalies block shots with a batting glove. Each of the Roller Hockey teams are made up of four skaters and a goalie. Inline Hockey, also known as Street Hockey, is played over two, 20 minute periods. Quad Hockey, sometimes referred to as Hardball Hockey, is played for an extra five minutes in each period.

Every sport wants Olympic status and Quad Hockey was a demonstration sport at the Summer Olympics in Barcelona in 1992. Many World Championships have taken place, with the Latin countries dominating. Portugal is the most successful country, winning 15 Quad Championships. Inline Hockey World Championships are rather more complicated as there are two different events each year. One is organized by the International Roller Sports Federation and the other is run by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The United States and Canada are the traditional leaders in the sport but Inline Hockey is becoming more popular across Europe and Latin America.

Women have come to the sport too, becoming increasingly organized. Both Roller Hockey disciplines have structured competitions. Inline Hockey has had Women's World Championships since 2002 and women have competed on the world stage in Quad Hockey, since 1992. Again, the Quad Championships are dominated by Latin countries. Roller Hockey started as an amateur pastime, played on the streets and local rinks. Ice Hockey may still be the leading stick and puck sport, but the other versions are keen to catch up. Countries without a tradition of playing sport on ice have welcomed this type of hockey too.

How Do You Decide That A Particular Sport Is An Extreme Sport?

What are the determining factors in naming a sport extreme? There are many sports considered to be extreme sports today but how did they become to be known as such? Some came from seemingly benign beginnings and have evolved to more dangerous sports. The addiction to these sports it seems comes from the associated adrenaline rush that comes from the participation in them. Let's look at some examples of extreme sports.

Skateboarding is considered the best known of extreme sports and was actually started in the sixties by bored surfers looking for a way to get exercise and cross train when the surf wasn't up. The sport took on a life of its own and soon national competitions were being held bringing the cult sport into mainstream America. From its humble beginnings the sport has now garnered worldwide attention.

The cold weather sister to skateboarding is snow boarding which takes the same movements and more onto the snow. This extreme sport has really caught fire today and in the last winter Olympics the snowboarding events were among the most popular. As its popularity has grown many resorts have added specialized snowboard trails and trick spots.

The sport that takes biking to the extreme is BMX biking. There are a couple of different versions of this sport with one being like traditional racing with dirt jumps and obstacles. Freestyle BMX is more closely related to skateboarding as they use the same courses as the skateboarders use and perform tricks on their bikes.

Have you seen the skiers that do all the crazy tricks and flips coming off of ramps on the slopes? This is freestyle skiing and is one of the most popular of the winter extreme sports. Like snowboarding, this sport has its own tricks and its own language.

An extreme sport mainly for the more mature of participants has recently evolved to be called sport climbing. With sport climbing there are preset handgrips and a designated course to climb with the goal to prove one's strength and athletic ability.

Ever felt the urge to jump out of an airplane? Most people don't, but still this has become a very popular sport that gives an enormous adrenaline rush from the initial jump. Parachuting teams work together to form shapes and perform choreographed aerial maneuvers while freefalling.

There is no doubt that as our culture seeks new ways to create excitement there will be new extreme sports introduced that may prove to be just as popular as the ones we see now.

Big Air Equals Big Thrills With This New Extreme Water Sport

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing, if you don't already know, is like snowboarding on water. This, behind a boat, is called wakeboarding. OK, now forget the boat and add a giant kite for the power source. The kite is controlled or steered using a control bar in the hands of the rider. The kite can be flown is specific patterns to generate greater power, or can be used to jump or fly through the air. We are not talking about little hops either; you can really get up and float for some serious air time. The power is directed to a harness by "hooking in"; this takes the load off the arms which helps reduce fatigue.

Kiteboarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and for good reasons.

The freedom of jumping 10, 20, 30ft off the water, without the necessity of a wave for a ramp, means that people who live near lakes can still fly through the air. Snowboarders love it as a summer alternative to riding on snow, not to mention there's no lift ticket to buy. Windsurfers love it because you can kiteboard in less wind, and the gear fits in a economy car, instead of the truck, or trailer. Surfers can get out on the water when the surf is too low or blown out. Wake boarders are forced to rethink what big air really is, plus saving all the gas money they were putting into their boats every weekend. People who have never tried a board sport at all are getting into kiteboarding.

Ideal learning conditions include warm, flat and shallow water coupled with consistent wind. Being able to stand up after a gulp of water or a head first plunge is not only convenient but comforting. Having a boat right there where you need it saves time, as the beginner will end the kite surfing lesson far down wind from where he or she started.

Taking kiteboarding lessons with a qualified instructor is a must. The best thing to do first is to buy or rent a trainer kite, and watch an instructional video to get the basics down. Next, is the first three hour kiteboarding lesson, in which you will learn the safety issues and systems, setup of the kite, launching and landing, the wind window and power stokes, water re-launching and body dragging. From there you can continue with lessons or go practice on your own. The cost of equipment has come down over the years; a beginner setup will run $1000-$1500 for everything. Unlike many sports, such as snow

Skiing, kiteboarding is not something you should expect to be able to learn in an afternoon. Once you get it, you'll be hooked.

The Most Extreme Professional Sport

Football, basketball, boxing and baseball were the sports I faithfully participated in as a kid through adulthood. I was fortunate enough to compete in football and boxing at the professional level. Other activities such as wrestling, track, handball, racquetball and lacrosse were used to sharpen me up for football and boxing. Each of these compliment the other to enhance skills and increase your talent. You can never be too good in any sport and someone will be there to overtake you when you ease up. You can take that to the bank with you.

Hockey wasn't a sport many individuals were interested in when I was growing up. There were no known rinks I knew of in New York City where I was located and the local sports heroes came from baseball, basketball and football in that order. Even while at college in the early 1970's I had no interest in watching hockey. I learned more about the sport during college because students from Buffalo loved the Sabres and in the first televised superstars a hockey player participated by the name of Rod Gilbert. The fact that his physique was of ordinary stature and he didn't fare very well in the different competitions failed to pique my interest for mayhem on the ice.

All of this changed in 1983 when I became a New York City firefighter. My firehouse was situated in Coney Island and I watched the engine compete against the truck at the Abe Stark rink. Though none of the individuals competing were fantastic skaters I had new found respect for the skill it takes to speed along the ice on blades I have trouble standing up on and fire a rock like piece of rubber into a goal. While attempting this feat you have individuals trying to dislodge you from the ice at incredibly fast speed. I began to follow the sport as I still continued my boxing career. Wayne Gretzsky scoring 92 goals in one season is a sporting record that will never be broken. It was 100 if you count the playoffs and the numerous records he owns far outweigh any other major professional athlete.

When you watch a hockey game up close there is nothing else like it. I always thought the live fights was the greatest thrill until I went to a professional hockey game. They are moving on their skates at an average 13 miles per hour and slap shots average 100 miles per hour. The hitting is brutal and you are afforded less protection than a professional football player. The majority of hockey players are minus some teeth because of the contact from pucks and fists since fights are common after a brutal hit while traveling at break neck speed. The way the athletes can stop and go while changing direction while carry a lethal weapon (the stick) is both incredible and thrilling. Blocking the puck with your body is another art form left for only individuals containing the strongest of wills. Elbows, high sticks, cross checks in the back and pucks and gloves in the face make this sport only for the toughest of the tough.

Boxing and football are great and test the strength and desire of every athlete but I must be honest and declare hockey as most extreme out of the major sports I have competed in and studied. It is not a game for the weak of heart but one where only the strong compete.
