| My
favorite extreme sport is kayaking. I have been practicing
this sport for two years.
To practice this sport I need special equipment. I need
a paddle, a helmet, a life jacket and goggles.
I learned this sport in Mar del Plata, when I was ten years
old, at a beach in Puerto Cardiel. My father practices kayaking
so he taught me. Every summer we go to the beach and we
practice and I have a very nice moment with my father. He
has a kayak and last year, he gave me one with all the necessary
equipment I need.
He has helped me a lot because I love kayaking and it's
good for my health. The drawback of this
sport is when a wave comes and I fall out of the kayak. |

My
favorite extreme sport is scuba diving
because I think it's exciting and strange. I have been practicing
scuba diving since I was seven years old.
To practice scuba diving you need flippers,
goggles, an air tank and a face mask. I learned scuba diving
in Rio de Janeiro and my uncle taught me how to do it. Now
I live in Ibiza and I can practice it everyday in the summer.
I think it's a very good sport to practice because you are
in touch with nature and you see beautiful things like fish
of different colors. It helped me a lot because I'm very
strong and I can swim very fast |

My
favorite extreme sport is white water rafting because it's
fun. I have been doing it since I went to San Rafael, Mendoza.
It's an extreme sport, it's very dangerous. That is why
we have to use a helmet, a life jacket and a paddle.
I remember that my father fell of the boat one day. I was
worried because there were a lot of rocks. A man helped
my father and I was very scared. I will
never forget this accident.
Every summer I go to Mendoza to practice this sport because
in Mar del Plata there are not nice rivers. I think it's
a good sport because it makes you strong. I learned this
sport when I was ten years old and I love it |
