Often when we think of sports we think of large teams, or individuals engaging in something solitary. There are however, many sports and activities very well suited to couples. Here's a list of four that I enjoy.
1. Jet ski
Jet ski is a brand of Personal Watercraft Manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. It was invented by Jake Schlegel and the name has become a genericized trademark, much like Kleenex or Post-its. Jet skiing is a great activity to do on a beach holiday. They are extremely fast and offer quite a thrill. It is definitely scarier to sit at the back which is why a lot of people prefer to go on their own. Having said that, going with a friend or partner can be really fun and a bonding experience.
2. Tennis
Tennis is a great sport to play with a partner. It is athletic, competitive, and challenging for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it involves a lot of running and therefore is quite cardiovascular. It also involves a lot of hand-eye coordination. Then of course you have to get the ball over the net, within the accepted frame, before the ball has bounced on your side a second time. In my opinion, the best feature of the sport is the outfits, and of course the grunting sound the players make- talk about putting your all into it.
3. Balloon ride
Taking a hot air balloon ride is a very relaxing and romantic thing to do. And the best part is, other then book your tickets and show up, you don't have to do anything, the pilot will take care of everything for you, including serving the champagne. It's a great way to see the city or countryside and a humbling experience all around. There is something to be said about the feeling that comes from being surrounded by beautiful nature and and knowing that man had absolutely nothing to do with it.
4. Double waterskiing
Another fun sport to do on the sea is waterskiing. It can take a while to learn to get up but once you know how to, it's like riding a bike, you'll never forget. Once up, the next challenge is learning to go in and out of the wake, and ocne that's been mastered, there's mono skiing. An activity I always enjoyed at summer camp was doing doubles with a friend. We'd play silly games like trying to knock each other over, or cross each other's wakes.
