Vacation and Summer Sports

Hi everyone,
do you practice any kind of sports when you go on vacation?

I like parachuting, rafting, climbing, Gliding, sleeping!!

what about you guys?

Hi!!

My favorite sport when I go on vacations, defenitely, is sleeping!! heheh
No, I like trekking, rafting, water sports in general...

I always wanted to do parachuting, is it good?

parachuting is something I want to try. any places to recommend in argentina?

When I go on vacations, and if there's water at hand, I usually love to go sailing...Actually, I'm a yachtswoman and went sailing 3 times in a row to Colonia...It's super relaxing. I recommend it!:p

I'd defenitely go for sleeping :P

When I go to the coast, I like to play beach football and beach volleyball. I love running through the beach at the afternoon too!

I love to run like forest Gump!!! :D always!!!

I like martial arts!! Kung fu to be exact. When I'm on holidays I try to practise, but I have to admit I don't do much :(
Generally I do the sports available there, if I go to the beach it's swimming, fishing, or if it's the mountains it's horseback ridding, climbing...
I love horses!! I never get to ride one unles it's on holidays...

SLEEEEEEEEEPING....also eating:D

if you have this kind of intriguing thing...

go for it!!!

it´s AWESOME!!

you can practice in Buenos Aires, in Lobos, but it´s more fun in the mountains or at the sea!

crazy crazy feeling!!

:eek:

Hi Analaura,

I really want to practice someday. :)
Where is Lobos?? Is it far away from Buenos Aires capital?

Cheers!!

it´s on the way to Ezeiza, there you can do parachuting, hangliding...etc. it´s pretty nice, not that great as when you do it in the mountains, but it´s always fun!!
you can google "lobos- parachuting", and you´ll see!!

My favorite sport on vacation is swimming, cycling and horsebackriding :-)

Also, I'd like to try "parapente" (English?) There's a great place south of El Bolson. Apparently the wind there is just perfect for it!

Thanks, Analaura!!
I will take a look!! :)

Surfing, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, anything at the beach! I reaaaaally want to go to thailand to train at one of the Muay Thai camps. Some day...

I think Parapente is hangliding...

do you know where? I´ll be close to Bolson in March for my vacations...and I want to do parachuting in the south...

so any suggestion of places would be great! :D

It has to be in the Piltri (Piltriquitrón)!!! I love that place... as for sports, anything that leaves scars is good for me! I'll allow myself to quote Tyler Durden: "I don't want to die without any scars"!

that´s true!! and I take that seriously!!! I have scars all over! (laughs), but so much adrenalin!!! :eek:

Gabriel, I´ll check that place, I´m going in late March... and I want to check crazy activities before getting there.

thanks a lot!

Hi Ana Laura!!

LUCKY YOU!!! yes, it's actually 5km south from El Bolsón, a small town called "Las Gaviotas".

Thanks for the translation!

Justin!! Muay Thai?? Heavy....

There is a Chinese variant called San Shou or San Da, that's even more violent because they let you grab and lift your oponent and you can also force the arms and legs into unnatural ways (called palanca in Spanish).

I didn't that one Victoria. The one I'm talking about is right in Bolsón. I guess a mountain is a mountain after all, right?

Veronica, I just read up on Sanshou! You were right, it sounds as brutal as possible. Chokes? No thanks!

I saw a couple of videos about San Da and it IS brutal haha, its amazing how they lift and throw each other... I hadn't seen anything like that in any other martial art =S

Hi guys!!

Remeber I told you I went to the south for vacations?
I went hangliding in El Bolsón, in Piltriquitrón!!

wowwwwwww, speechless, at 1,200 mts

if anyone likes it, it´s a MUST!!

:D

WOOOWWW!!! It must have been incredible!!!! :)

OH-MY-GOSH!!!!! What a brave girl!!!! What did you feel up there????

Hi there! I never tried parachutting, and to tell you the truth I don't think I'll ever will...However, my sister has highly recommended me to try a balloon flight. She says it's awesome and it is practised in the Province of Buenos Aires...Anybody wants to join me???;)

Hi,
I very much like sports,But It depends upon mood..He.he

Hi guys

it feels WOWWWWWW!! there are no words on earth to explain how it feels, but it´s this sense of happyness and freedom and excitement... Once you´ve done it you´ll do it one thousand times more :D

My favorite hobbies while traveling is to discover some new places out there and enjoy the holidays

Parachuting is something I don't think I'll ever think of trying. Hats off to those of you who have done it. You are very brave! But who knows I may change my mind...never say never...right?!

Surfing, running and longboarding are my favorites.

In Hawaii we have some of the best surf spots in the world. Growing up I lived 4 houses up from the beach called "Big Lefts" on the Island of Maui. Surfers from all over would come to surf there! It was awesome to watch. My favorite summer sports are fishing, camping, boogie boarding and swimming.

Depending on where I go for vacation is what I like to do. I try not to do something that I can do here in Miami. But I love the water! I love to go jet skiing or out on the boat, even though it's a bit ironic because one of the things I fear the most are sharks!!! :D
