There are many reasons to practice adventure sports (here you can expand information with the most compelling reasons) but it is true that there are many people who do not practice them for fear of some myths that I wanted to reflect in this article.
False myths about adventure sports
1. Adventure sports are dangerous sports.It's not true. It is true that they are risky sports, but to avoid them it is necessary to strictly follow safety measures. Following these measures, having equipment in perfect condition and with the help of experts to guide you in case you are new to any of these sports, everything will go smoothly.
2. Only people who are in good physical shape can practice it. Lie. There are adventure sports for all audiences, for all ages and for all levels, from horseback riding to trekking, climbing or canyoning. The possibilities are endless! So if you want to do any of these sports, don't worry, an instructor will know how to adapt it to your physical form.
3. Urine attracts sharks. If you are a diver, surfer, you practice kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddle surfing, bodyboarding... don't worry, if you spend a lot of time in the water and you can't hold on, this won't make the sharks come for you.
4. They are sports only for men. False. I even think that this heading is superfluous, but if there is still someone out there who believes that this is something for kids, they are very wrong. There are many and more women who are dedicated to this type of sports, either as a hobby or professionally. Don't be confused!
5. They are sports that arise due to fashion. We find approximately between 60 and 70 different sectors. Can they all be a fad? I don't believe it. They may become more widespread, but some of the adventure sports have been with us for centuries, such as surfing or snowshoeing.
6. These sports are not for children. Totally false. What's more, the younger they start, the faster they will learn. Yes, with a head. It is clear that you are not going to put an 8-year-old child to bungee jumping, skydiving or paintball, but if you teach him to climb, surf, ski, horseback ride or windsurf, among many more options, you will have a blast.
7. Adventure sports are expensive. It is not true, since there are activities for all budgets. Is going for a walk in the countryside expensive? You can choose many sports that will adapt to your needs and not only that, but if you turn one of these sports into your hobby you can find a very large second-hand market, with good and affordable equipment. price.
8. You have to live in a heavenly place to find places to practice these sports.Lie. Without going any further, in Cuenca, you can practice endless activities. Actually, if you live near mountains, sea, river, land or air (who doesn't live in a place with airspace where you can fly?) you can practice any type of adventure activity.
Can you think of anything else?
