Water skiing and Canoeing in Rio de Janeiro

Outrigger catamaran Hawaiian, Hawaiian canoe. Despite having arrived in Brazil for less than four years, the history of this ship already has 3,000 years of memory. With double hull and propulsion (sail or rowing), the Outrigger has become crucial in the process of colonization of Polynesia and the Pacific Islands. He arrived in Hawaii, became a sport, won fame spread worldwide, and today is practiced in over 12 countries: Costa Rica to Japan.

The scenarios involving the Hawaiian canoes are always paradise: sea, lakes, ponds or canals. But guess where one of the best and most pleasant places in the world to paddle? Rio de Janeiro. With currencies sea beyond that land, nothing more natural than the city has a natural vocation for watersports. For here we have all the possible conditions for a good paddling, shallow water, deep, near rocks, surf, standing water stream. Not to mention the visual ... See Rio from the sea is fantastic!

Synchronized to the rhythm of paddling, Hawaiian canoes depart toward the beaches of the south, Niterói or islands along the Atlantic coast. With the Sugar Loaf Mountain as a backdrop, one of the most classic strokes out of Red Beach, go to Copacabana, passes through and comes to Fort Island Cutunduba in front of Copacabana Beach and close to the bar of Guanabara Bay.

Already there are national competitions, use of canoes on social projects like the Row River and in training of executives. Anyone can try this wave. Club de Regatas Botafogo, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the Outrigger Club Rio, Barra, or the corner of Red Beach are the best options.

Waterskiing and Wakeboarding
While the complete indifference of the authorities regarding the cleaning up of the Lagoon, it is still one of the most accessible of the country for skiing and wake. Besides the beautiful setting, with the right blessings of Christ the Redeemer and the possibility of flat water almost daily, the lagoon is the place to concentrate the best instructors in town, like professionals in the Lake Wakeboard Ski School and Rio Wake Center.

Anyone know how to swim and have a good physical preparation is able to try the sport. How falls can be dangerous if you're new venture is not without an experienced instructor, even if it has all the necessary equipment. This kind of "adventure" sucks! Remember that risk is healthy only when associated with responsibility.
