HAWAII HOLIDAYS EXTREME SPORTS

HAWAII HOLIDAYS  EXTREME SPORTS

If you wish to see more of the Hawaiian islands than just the beautiful sandy beaches and the glistening blue sea then why not try your hand at extreme terrain biking, you will be tough after this experience if you weren’t before!

You will be riding over tough terrain, through historical routes, visit the sets for both Jurassic park and Godzilla.

Learn about how native Hawaiians lived long before their contact with Europeans view a world war two bunker which is now a museum!

Cycle up steep inclines then be at one with nature as you cross small streams and go through undergrowth, when you reach the cliffs you are in for a breathtaking view of the ocean and may see humpback whales if in season which is December – April.

KITE SURFING

If you want the thrill of speed whilst being propelled by air whilst surfing the waves of Hawaii, then prepare yourself for kite surfing or kite boarding!

Kite Surfing in Hawaii - Extreme Sports

Speed picks up as the kite glides through the air and the rider surf’s on the waves.
The surfer relies on the kite for propulsion they can change direction.
The kite boarder can do tricks such as somersaults and jumps if they have had the training!

Ready to try something new whilst on holiday in the Hawaiian islands?  Are you ready to be put to the extreme sports challenge?

PADDLE SURFING

Don’t be fooled it may look easy but it takes more energy than an aerobic workout!  Visualise yourself standing on top of a paddle board whilst skilfully maneuvering his way through the waves, whilst at the same surfer driving the paddle onto the incoming swell! Managing to pivot perfectly! And
Not losing their balance whilst standing on the board!!

Even very experienced surfers find paddle boarding is a very satisfying sport as it gives them more vantage point, seeing incoming waves whilst steering clear of other surfers!

Paddle Surfing - Hawaii Holiday Extreme Sports

Take a few lessons and try your hand at paddle- board surfing, you can try paddle-board surfing on any of the Hawaiian islands.

Depending which time of year you visit Hawaii the waves can reach up to 65 feet  high competitions  only run if the waves are 40 feet high!!

Ocean users must be very mindful whilst enjoying the ocean as the under currant is very strong and can pull you back out to sea.
