Cable Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing at Orlando Watersports Complex
The popularity of cable wakeboarding parks has been growing since the first time we wrote about it in 2010... And Florida ranks first place in the U.S. by the number of cable wakeboarding parks, and the time they're open...
Personally, I got to try cable wakeboarding for the first time in Tampa, FL in 2011... Even though it was my second time trying out wakeboarding ( the first was wakeboarding behind a boat, and it was a bitch ! ), cable wakeboarding was much easier to learn !
This time I brought my 14 y.o son who'd never done any kind of wakeboarding, but it only took him a few runs to get used being pulled by the cable...
If you're in Orlando, FL, and want to give cable wakeboarding a try, stop by Orlando Watersports Complex that offers cable wakeboarding lessons for complete beginners...
Besides cable wakeboarding, Orlando Watersports Complex also offers water skiing, kneeboarding, and wakesurfing lessons !
Wakesurfing has been on my Bucket List for a long time, and I finally got to cross it off my list !
Check out the YouTube video below of our experience at Orlando Watersports Complex :
But even if you're not into "extreme sports", Orlando Watersports Complex could be a great place for the family with kids to visit !
The main reason we believe it's a great place is because of its location... It's conveniently located only ~20 min away from both Orlando downtown, and Orlando's main attractions ( Disney World/Universal/Sea World ) !!

Bucket List Achievements 2020/2021, and Goals for 2022
At the end of 2019, when I wrote my last ExtraHyperActive Bucket List report 2019/2020, as always, I had quite a list of ambitious goals for 2020 😎😍
But just like most people, I couldn't even imagine that the next 2 years would be absolutely unprecedented, unpredictable, and straight up frightening 😱💩
With the introductions of lockdowns, and numerous restriction on (air) travel, and social gatherings/group activities, most of my adventure travel plans were doomed 😥
But the first blow to my plans didn't even have anything to do with COVID...
One of my BIGGEST dreams/goals ( to fly in a hot air balloon in Winthrop, WA !! ) that I've had since 2010 (!!), got cancelled b/c of the weather conditions 😡
But it was still a pretty amazing trip !
If you ever plan to visit Washington state ( winter and/or summer are always the best times !! ), Winthrop is one of the most unique, and amazing destinations in this state !
It's a great place to visit for "tourists", but especially fun for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in one place !
Since we couldn't travel a whole lot not only internationally, but even domestically, we spent most of 2020/2021 enjoying the great outdoors of our beautiful WA state !
In 2020/2021, my son and I did a lot of snowboarding, surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, biking, and backpacking !
Unfortunately, in 2020, I had to shut down my local business "Seattle Kite, Surf, Paddle", but we continued "shredding" 🏄, and making money online through affiliate marketing on my blog "Land Paddling USA"...
We even got to try a new "board sport" - kitwing boarding !
Another outdoor activity that we started learning in 2019, and continued through 2020/2021 was fishing !
We tried fly fishing, peer/dock fishing, and then got into SUP/kayak/canoe fishing !
Another new Bucket List adventure we got to write off our Bucket List was hunting !
It was an absolutely amazing experience, and in the future, we'll be focusing more on both hunting & fishing !
Until 2020, I've never been a huge "gun nut"... I did go on a few target shooting trips with my friends back in the days, and took my kiddo clay shooting when he was 10, but never really enjoyed shooting ( at targets )...
But in 2020/2021 with the rise of violence, and the possibility social unrest ( or straight up civil war ! ), I decided to invest in a few firearms, and to have more practice for both myself and my son...
Along with hunting/fishing, target shooting/survival/self-defence will be something we'll be focusing more on in the incoming years....
B/c of limited travel, another cool adventure/business venture we started was "overlanding"/car camping !
I started an Amazon affiliate site "Best Rooftop Tents", and also made money renting out my Jeep on Outdoorsy.com, while making extra $$$ participating in their affiliate program !
On the side, I was making additional CASH flipping rooftop tents on sites like Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace !
As for my (outside the state ) travel plans, the only new place I got to visit was Texas...
And I had absolutely a blast in that state !
Being ExtraHyperActive, the highlight of my trip was visiting BSR Surf Resort in Waco !
So what are my plans/goals for 2022 ?
To be completely honest, I'm pretty pessimistic about the future...
But if you know me, you know that I'm a huge believer in creating your own life !!
And this blog, and this category ( My Bucket List ) is my proof that YOU too can live the life of your dreams... AS LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW TO SET CLEAR, REALISTIC, EMOTIONALLY CHARGED GOALS !!
This year, instead of writing about my plans for 2022, I decided to create a YouTube video ( if you have time to watch👇 )

My Bucket List : 2018 Achievements & 2019 Goals
In 2017, I made a choice to spend more time on my business(es).
And as a consequence, I got to spend less time doing what I love - traveling, working out, and hanging out with my son 😠😢
And despite of my belief that "if you focus on your goals, if you work hard, if you put in time, and effort, it will pay off"... I saw very mediocre results.
Add "Dog Sledding In Whistler, BC" To Your Bucket List !
Dog sledding in Whistler, BC is a truly Canadian experience, and a "must" to add to your Bucket List !

Tips On Surfing In Tofino, B.C.
If you're a surfer in PNW, "surfing in Tofino" should be on your Bucket List ! While surfing itself is pretty mediocre, just the road trip from Seattle to Tofino is an adventure of its own worth adding to your list !

Tips On Climbing Mt Adams

Land Paddling On A Snow Day In Seattle
Land paddling in Seattle is not really a year round activity.
It rains a lot most of the year, and in fall/winter, when the temperatures drop, only the most dedicated spend time land paddling, and having fun.
And we at "Seattle Kite, Surf, Paddle" are among those crazy ones who enjoy land paddling in any weather !
There is something special about land paddling in the snow ! It's like combining longboarding, snowboarding, and paddleboarding in one.
And the surroundings are breathtaking ! Because there is nothing quite as serene as seeing your beloved city in a fresh sheet of snow. It's truly magical making your first tracks in the snow.

My Bucket List : 2017 Achievements & 2018 Goals
"What you GET by achieving your goals is not as important as what you BECOME by achieving your goals" ~ Henry David Thoreau
Maybe I'm getting too old, by it seems like 2017 has flown by so fast I didn't have time to really notice it.
In 2016, I made a decision to spend more time on my businesses rather than on my adventures...
But the best part of running your own fitness & travel business is that you DON'T HAVE TO COMPROMISE !
As you might know, another one of my favorite quotes is : "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" ~ Confucius
And that's exactly how 2017 was ! I didn't work a single day !
Ski AND Surf Lake Tahoe
Recently, I read it somewhere that Lake Tahoe had been ranked the No. 1 ski destination for the 2010-2011 season. I can't comment on that since I've never been to Lake Tahoe, but can say one thing: if I ever make it there it's not going to be ( just ) skiing...
Bucket list Ideas : Volcano Boarding In Nicaragua !
Believe it or not, "volcano tourism" is a popular, and growing travel trend. Every year millions of tourists make active and dormant volcanic areas their preferred destination, either for recreational purposes and sightseeing, or perhaps as an adventure trip involving more extreme activities such as hiking, climbing, camping, taking a hot air balloon trip over volcanic landforms like in Capadoccia, Turkey.
But recently, one activity/adventure has become especially popular - volcano boarding !
What The Hell Is River Bugging ?
Here, I present you another relatively new, crazy, adrenaline-filled water sport -river bugging.
"What is river bugging?" - you ask. In a nutshell, it's river tubing with a twist.
Instead of a tube, you sit in an ... inflatable armchair, pitting your wits (and other parts of your anatomy) against fast-moving rapids, bouncing off rocks and rafting down eddies into icy pools of water below. Your hands are covered in webbed gloves and you also wear short flippers, to help you manoeuvre around the river currents. You also wear the standard "whitewater outfit"- (full body) wetsuit, PFD and a helmet.

Parahawking- Flying Like A Bird...With A Bird.
The video below is absolutely beautiful !
When you go parahawking, you are not just flying like a bird - you are flying with one. And there's only one place in the world you can do it: Pokhara, Nepal and doing it is as awesome as it sounds.
If it's too much to digest, let me first explain what parahawking is.
Parahawking is a fusion between Falconry and Paragliding. Falconry is a huntung sport where birds of prey are trained to hunt prey. Parahawking is different, our birds of prey are trained to fly with Paragliders and to guide them to the thermals. Parahawking also gives you a unique opportunity to interact with birds of prey in their own environment.When parahawking, you soar with trained Egyptian Vultures, which are an exceptionally unique species of bird. Not only are the Egyptian Vultures incredibly intelligent (they're one of two bird species in the world that use tools to source food (they will actually pick up and drop rocks to break into eggs) but they are incredibly energy efficient. The vultures rely on warm pockets of air, called thermals, to achieve lift — allowing them to soar with minimal effort. The higher they soar, the wider their perspective becomes, allowing them to more easily source food. If there are no thermals, the Egyptian Vulture will find a tree to perch on and conserve energy until it's ready to try again.
Diving With Sharks At The Florida Aquarium In Tampa Bay
Florida diving offers something for everyone, from the newbie to the most experienced divers, from coral reef diving to fresh water, wrecks, caverns, 4000 lb statue of Christ of the Abyss to ... diving at the The Florida Aquarium.
I came across this incredible adventure while looking for guided scuba diving trips around Tampa. The Florida Aquarium in Tampa Bay offers two great diving adventures - Swim with the Fishes and ...Dive with the Sharks !
Diving with the great white sharks near the Neptune islands of southern Australia has been on my Bucket List since I first got my PADI Open Water certificate.
But diving with sharks at The Florida Aquarium was no less thrilling.
