Tow In Surfing

tow in surfing Tow In Surfing
Any recomendations for a small sailboat you can put in the back of a medium pickup truck?

Looking for something I can sail with no more than 4 people. 90% of the time solo. Mostly bay sailing, but like to have the option for playing in the surf on good days. The water is my bay is relatively shallow for most of it..averaging 2-5′.

I’m a fan of catamaran’s, but I’m open to suggestions. Needs to be easily setup by just one person for when I go alone(mast stepping solo has been a problem in the past).

If it’s an absolute necessity, I can get a trailer. But I want to avoid it if at all possible. I don’t like towing anything.

Thanks.
I forgot to mention I’ve helped set up a Hobie 16 before and I cannot set that up alone..so something smaller or easier to setup is a must.

A laser or a sunfish are the classic examples of small boats that can probably fit in the back of a pickup truck and are meant to be sailed by one person, but both are able to handle probably 3 depending on the size of the people. The only problem with them is they probably draw 4 feet of water with their dagger board down. So if you only have 2-5 feet that is not much clearance for it.
A suggestion for a catamaran you could look at the Hobie Wave. It’s like13ft and you could sail it along or with a group of people. The thing is I am not sure if i will fit in the back of your pickup truck because of the width. But it is a nice boat to cruise around on and take a couple people out on.

Extreme Sports – Seeking Thrill in Cities

Many youngsters and teenagers living in urban cities seek thrill and excitement by engaging in different types of sports. These sports usually require minimum gear, and can take place in almost any venue. The collective term for these games is urban sports, for they only take place in city areas.

But don’t confuse urban sports with extreme sports. City activities are often safe, when caution is exercised. Due to the extremity of the activities, the risks are also much higher for extreme sports. They involve public displays of dangerous stunts. There is no strict definition for extreme sports. To participate is to push limits. Of course, in exchange for all the thrill and excitement, a certain amount of risk is necessary.

If you are interested in taking up a sport, take a look at the urban activities in your area. See anything you like? It can be basketball, soccer, skateboarding,etc. The sport is an urban sport as long as it happens in the city. If you observe closely, you will quickly realize that there are some similarities between these activities.

Before diving in, you need to get yourself some clothing and equipment. Buy clothing that will help you blend in with others. There are many activities that don’t need much equipment. Just make sure you have at least a comfortable pair of urban sport shoes and you are good to go.

Ensure that you wear the right shoes and clothing for the sport that you are joining. If you need to have flexible movements, a pair of casual street shoes will do fine. Today, many major brand names have recognized the demand for urban sports and they have manufactured shoes that fill this need.

There are many benefits that are associated with an urban sport activity. You don’t usually need to travel to far out places just to participate in the sport. Join a few sports enthusiasts in the neighborhood and practice, practice, practice. As time goes by, you find yourself becoming fitter and healthier.

As you feel yourself growing stronger and getting better at a sport, you may wish to consider moving the bar up a little and participate in some extreme sports. Here, protective gear becomes much more important. If you find yourself without the appropriate protective gear, just resist the urge to jump in and join your friends.

The more commonly seen activities include mountain biking, roller blading, stunt biking, and many others. There are no concrete boundaries for extreme sports. More innovative and challenging games are being invented by talented young people daily. The young seek fresh challenges, and extreme sports seem to be the only avenue that can satisfy their appetite.

A quick word of caution – Do not try to be too impatient why trying out extreme sports. Some stunts do require a fair amount of skill. Start from the basics if you are new, and seek advice from those who had done what you are about to do now.
