Whenever we go on a trip, we try to take part in some sort of activity or sport that we normally wouldn’t back at home. Here a few we have tried out:

Surfing

In Australia we took surfing lessons at Point Leo, Victoria. It was so much fun and we caught quite a few good waves… Check out some photos:

Do you like our cute wetsuits?

There we are on the right learning some surf moves with our “beginner” group before heading out.

That’s Laura in the middle catching a huge wave. The sharks can’t catch us!

Here we are after becoming pros out there in those 40 foot waves. Notice our hat heads from our helmets.

Next time we plan on hanging ten ;)

Paddleboarding

In Tybee Island, Georgia we rented some awesome paddle boards. If you don’t know what a paddle board is, it looks like a surf board, except bigger and you usually don’t have to catch a wave to stand up. You stand and paddle! Check out our experience:

Here we are ready to go paddle boardin’… “Watch out, Ocean!”

Defying the seas. (Okay, it’s a lot harder than it looks)

After a few struggles and falls, we got back up again..

Paddlin’ away to the Pacific.

Kayaking

Yep, we went kayaking on Tybee Island, too!

This was a lot of fun!

This is our whole kayaking group.

See those green marshes in the background? Yeah… we kayaked through that ;)

Mopeds

Another time we went to Tybee Island we rented these awesome mopeds. It’s so fun to ride these around a little beach town/island like Tybee.

Pedal Boating

In Positano, Italy (favorite place we’ve ever visited, by the way), we rented a pedal boat! It was so fun to just pedal out to wherever we wanted, for example, this cave/cliff thing…

We thought about going into the cave but decided not to take any risks. Probably a smart choice.

Taking a break from pedaling to relax on our little boat in beautiful Italy.

Horseback Riding

In Australia we took a bush/beach horseback ride. Although our horses were very stubborn, it was one of the most amazing things we did in Australia! Here are some of our photos…

Along the gorgeous beach… we were slacking behind the rest of the group, as you can tell. Also we were the only ones on the beach… it was like our own beautiful private beach!

Through the bush. Check out that stunning view! No civilization in sight.

We had so much fun. A spectacular experience.

Some other Xtreme travel sports we enjoy…
