There's nothing like the smell of the ocean's salt air. The sound of the waves crashing against itself. The sound of children playing on the sand. Or a baby's first steps into the ocean. The view from a parachute looking down on the waves of people facing the water.
Parasailing
Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat) while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail. The boat then drives off, carrying the individual into the air. If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time.
How cool is this? Who's with me?

Surfing
Yes, surfing is still a sport; and still fun.
The term 'surfing' is used for a surface water sport in which the person surfing is carried along the face of a breaking ocean wave (the "surf") standing on a board. (Hopefully they stay standing) . Bodyboarding, is when an individual rides a wave, but does not stand up on the board, and only partly raises his upper body from the board.
Yeah, whatever. Count me in.

Kayaking
Surfing's not the only game at the beach. Ocean kayaking is the hot new sport that everyone wants to try. You can set out for a day trip, an hour, a whole weekend for an easy kayaking adventure along the coastline. Take a lesson or two, go with a friend, or by yourself, and have some fun. I plan to.

....More
The real question is, which beach are we going to? Carlsbad State Beach? Laguna? Ventura - muscle Beach? Guess what? I plan on hitting them all....And there's more! Bicycling, running - on & off the beach - tanning, people watching, fishing off the Santa Monica pier if one is inclined. There are options. And I plan to do them all. Uh, ok, maybe not the fishing part. But everything else. Who knows?
I might have so much fun, I may not come back! |
