Adventure Sports

I have enjoyed many adventure sports on land, sea and in the air. My favorite adventure sports are sailing and paragliding as they offer great freedom for those who understand the winds and ways of Mother Nature. Scuba diving required the most training. Trekking to Mt. Everest Base Camp required the most endurance.
