As the sun shines more brightly than before and temperatures rise even higher, summer beckons everyone to embrace the water and engage in thrilling watersports, even shy introverts. Whether you're a seasoned water athlete to cross off something on your bucket list or a novice looking for new adventures this summer (to make this season more memorable), the summer season offers a plethora of options to cool off and have a blast. Here's a roundup of some exciting watersports to try this summer:

Stand-Up Paddleboarding

If you want a more laidback, worry-free experience, try stand-up paddleboarding. The large boards are easy to balance so there’s no fear of falling into the water and an oar to paddle your way around. It’s perfect for all ages and fitness levels. It’s best to start on a calm lake or river and then hit the coast once you get the hang of it! You can even do yoga to practice mindfulness on the water.

Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding is kind of similar to surfing but quite different since it involves the rider standing on a wakeboard while being pulled by a boat. It is quite challenging for novices but it’s part of the thrill and it makes this activity extreme than your average tow sports. Experts make this activity more extreme by performing cool stunts and tricks that involve jumping and twisting off the water. If you have a Wild Rider boat, wakeboarding is just one of these exciting water sports that you can do since this boat is capable of tow sports.

Snorkelling

If you don’t feel like doing extreme water sports but still want to do some exciting activities, snorkelling is your best choice. You don’t need any experience to do it as long as you know how to swim and adjust your breathing using a mask and snorkel. Plus, kids can do this without any anxiety about whether this is safe for them as long as they know how to swim.  Discover the world under the sea and swim with marine life. Reefs and wrecks are the best places to explore sea life, such as coral, fish, stingrays, and even turtles.

Kneeboarding

Just like wakeboarding, kneeboarding riders are being pulled by a boat, but the difference is that the riders are not standing but rather kneeling on the board. The equipment also differs since kids and adults have specific boards to do this sport efficiently.

Jet Skiing

Jet skis are one-person or two-person watercraft that give you the adrenaline kick that you’re looking for while looking cool and having fun while travelling at breathtaking speeds. The feeling of speeding through the water and feeling the wind on your face makes this sport a must-try!

Cliff Diving

Are you looking for a more exhilarating adventure? How about trying something new and more daring, such as cliff diving? This activity attracts a lot of extreme adventure lovers who seek the thrill of jumping from a cliff up into the air and falling into the ocean. You can boat around looking for safe places to cliff dive. Make sure the location is legal and safe to do this.

Boating

It’s possible to boat even as a rookie whether you own a Stacer boat or rent it. You can even boat on a lake or a river if you’re not confident going out at sea. Just make sure to practice safe boating and follow all regulations when it comes to boating.
