Water Adventures

Who doesn’t like having fun with friends while getting a good work out at the same time. People don’t have to go to the gym to lose weight or to have fun; all they have to do is simply be active. For instance, people can go kayaking here at the Channel Islands Harbor. Kayaking is a great way to relax, or simply go with friends while having a great view at the harbor. Whoever goes kayaking, actually get a good arm workout because its not as easy as it looks also you learn to have amazing balance if you don’t have one already.  Another place to go kayaking is at the islands here off Anacapa. There you have a breath taking view of the island and again it is just relaxing listening to the waves crash up against the rocks. Although it’s a bit expensive it is well worth it.

Not only can you go kayaking but you can also go wake boarding. How fun is that? Having a boat drag you while you are on your board holding on for dear life. This is also another arm work out because you have to have all your strength in your arms since a boat is dragging you. Also, you have to use your legs because you do get small waves and if your legs are floppy then you will fall. This is another way to make sure you know how to balance.

Last, if wake boarding is a little to extreme you can also do paddle boarding. Its like surfing but using an oar to maneuver around. I went paddle boarding in a dam called Causey located in Utah about 1.5 hours north of Salt Lake City. It was all a scenery and no matter how fast you use to paddle you’re constantly going at the same rate. You use both your arms and legs equally. You need your legs to balance on the board because if you lean to much one way you will fall into the water. You also need your arms because well you’re the driver of the board and no one will take you but yourself.
