3. ♣Bungee jumping♣
Bungee jumping (pron.: /ˈbʌndʒiˈ/; also spelt "Bungy"
jumping) is an activity that involves jumping from a tall
structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The
tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a
building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump
from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or
helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the
ground. The thrill comes from the free-falling and the
rebound.[3] When the person jumps, the cord stretches
and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord
recoils, and continues to oscillate up and down until all
the energy is dissipated.
5. •Surfing•
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a "surfer,"
rides on the forward face of a wave, which is most often carrying the surfer
towards shore. Waves suitable for surfing are found primarily in the ocean, but
can be found in some lakes, in rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal
bore. Surfing can also be done in manmade sources such as wave pools and
boat wakes. The term "surfing" refers to the act of riding a wave and not the
form (with or without a board) in which the wave is ridden. For instance, the
native peoples of the Pacific surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such crafts
on their belly, knees, and feet. Not to mention, Bodysurfing, the act of surfing a
wave without a board, is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing.
That much said, the more modern day definition of surfing tends to refer to
when a surfer rides a wave standing up on a surfboard, which is referred to as
stand-up surfing or paddleboarding. Although, another prominent form of
surfing in the ocean today includes bodyboarding, which refers to when a
surfer rides a wave either on the belly, dropknee, or stand-up on a bodyboard.
Not to mention, knee boarding, surfmatting (riding inflatable
mats), foils, bodysurfing, and so forth.
