As adulthood meanders on, people sometimes forget what it means to have fun, and live life to the fullest. This summer, don’t waste time doing all the boring stuff you did last year. Let summer thrill you, as it did in your childhood, by trying something new. It\u2019s time to ditch the beach, and indulge in something far more extreme.<\/p>\n

The following summer activities are extreme,\u00a0and\u00a0extremely fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hang Gliding<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever dreamt of being a bird and soaring through the sky? Hang gliding is about as close as you\u2019ll get to this experience. Gliders seek out the wind to keep themselves suspended in the sky for hours. It takes a teacher, and a fair amount of practice, but this is one hobby you won\u2019t regret starting because it puts you among the clouds to witness the world as you never have before.<\/p>\n

Local tandem hang gliding centers are sprinkled all over the country, so contact one today to get started on this remarkable hobby.<\/p>\n

Flying<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the idea of hang gliding tickles your fancy, but you\u2019d prefer the comfort of a cockpit, then flying lessons are right up your alley. (You can find aviation schools near most major airports.)<\/p>\n

Aviation is one of the most rewarding hobbies, as it allows you to fulfill a childhood fantasy, as well as learn something that can save you money on future vacations (you don\u2019t have to spend a ton on airline tickets when you can just fly yourself<\/em>). This summer, you can tackle a hobby that will have you enjoying the open sky for a lifetime, making aviation well-worth the money spent on flying lessons.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, flying requires a lot equipment and dedication to learning if it\u2019s to be safely enjoyed. Pilotmall.com<\/a>\u00a0can get you started with aviation supplies; racking up the hours and training is on you.<\/p>\n

Cave Diving \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re certified to dive, you ought to try cave diving. There are all sorts of beautiful caves hidden throughout the ocean, and diving into them puts you among the coral, the rays of sunshine breaking in through the ocean, and a dizzying array of tropical fish. North Central Florida is the best place for novice cave divers to practice this hobby, but more experienced divers can find caves on any coast.<\/p>\n

Powerboat Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Powerboat Racing is a bit costly, and you have to reside in an area that permits it, but if you can meet the requirements, the fun you have more than compensates for the money spent. Powerboat racing is incredibly exciting, and takes place in coastal cities wherever there is open boating.<\/p>\n

Key West is an especially good place to find boat racing competitions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beekeeping<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beekeeping is more exciting than it sounds. You\u2019ll be wearing a suit, so there\u2019s no real threat of being stung, but you\u2019ll still want to be careful; careful when removing your suit, putting it on, and handling the bee trays. You\u2019ll need to learn all the ins and outs of this remarkable hobby, but once accustomed to its duties, you\u2019ll be a beekeeping pro, and ready to collect honey \u2013 all while making the world a better place because bees are in decline<\/a>, and the world needs more beekeepers to introduce more bees into the environment.<\/p>\n

There are many beekeeping communities online, where you can speak to seasoned keepers and get information on starting this hobby.<\/p>\n

Build Sandcastles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, so any five year old with a bucket and a shovel can build sand castles, but this isn\u2019t the summer for traditional sandcastles. This summer, take your sandcastles to a whole new level by building expert sandcastles \u2013 the kind that go viral on the Internet. There\u2019s all sorts of tutorials for sandcastle building on YouTube, so use your free time to learn the tools and the steps required for mind blowing sand castle construction.<\/p>\n

Do What You\u2019ve Always Wanted <\/strong><\/p>\n

This summer, make the season about taking risks and following your bliss. Do something you\u2019ve always wanted to do, but didn\u2019t. It\u2019s time to take the reins on your life, and start living it to its fullest. As the days get longer, so should your list of hobbies.<\/p>\n
