  studying and in-water training. You need an
  apparatus which helps you breathe under the water.

  extra risk on the rivers. They use unsinkable
  boats for their trips down the rivers. The sport
  has become the modern day centerpiece for outdoor
  enthusiasts.

• C. It is a land alternative to surfing. It was
  developed in California in the 1960th and became
  a craze in the 1970s. The sport is practiced on a
  board mounted on wheels. Since 1980s it has
  become an extreme sport rather than a hobby,
  because they practice ramp and rail.

  attached to a long piece of elastic that it is
  short enough to prevent the jumper from hitting
  the ground.

  Zealand. It involves rolling about in a ball,
