In many holiday destinations around the world, conditions are almost always perfect for water sports throughout the year. In the Mediterranean as well as in the Caribbean and in North Africa, temperatures drop slightly, and there are fewer tourists, a factor that smart travelers take advantage of to get into the water and stay active. These countries house multiple Inflatable water parks that make up great Water Sports destinations for practicing water sports.
Making a Water Sports getaway, whether it's a long weekend or a mini-vacation, is a smart tactic to counteract the pressure of returning to work and eliminating stress. Fortunately, there are many destinations that boast the weather and water and enjoy life to the fullest.
The question, though, is which water sports you should practice, and where should you go to enjoy them to the fullest.

The question, though, is which water sports you should practice, and where should you go to enjoy them to the fullest.
Sailing
Taking advantage of and taming the force of the wind on a sailboat is, perhaps, one of the most universal practices since only water and good sails are needed. From small 'nutshells' ideal for the lonely sailors to the most crowded and festive catamarans without forgetting the nice monohulls, few sports allow you to feel freedom like this.
A vacation on the sea offers you a different perspective and generates unforgettable memories, with iodine permeating your body and your lungs while balancing your serotonin levels.
In Montego Bay, Jamaica, the 3-hour catamaran cruises merge with spectacular Caribbean sunsets as they travel along the coast and reach as famous enclaves as Rick's Café or Dunn's River Falls. These tours include experienced crew and often abundant food and drink, as well as small stops where to snorkel.
The Balearic Islands, especially Mallorca and Ibiza, are perfectly prepared for both novice adventurers and experienced sailors. Its world-famous ports, its magnificent and low crowded docks, and its relatively gentle breezes attract the most expert sailors who know that any time of the year is ideal for navigating these islands.
Inflatable SUP Surfing
In recent years, this variation of surfing has become one of the favorite activities to start in water sports. It is very easy to practice, and its health benefits are numerous since it does not require the same physical strength as kitesurfing, just agility, and some balance.
It is an exercise in which the whole body is put to work. The legs are strengthened, and that has hardly any negative impact on the ligaments and tendons, which makes it a perfect option to relax while the muscles are activated.
Another advantage is that it is a perfect sport for the whole family and its learning is simple and fun, with everyone, adults and children, having fun while falling - or not - into the water.
Best way to do it? Get an inflatable - find an inflatable water park and enjoy yourself to the fullest. Where to find inflatables? You can find inflatable water park sporting equipment at Aqua Play Parks at the best prices.
Throughout the year, the opportunities to practice this sport are almost unlimited, but the calm waters surrounding Crete make this island a perfect destination that is already seducing fans from all over the world.
In its 13,500 kilometers of coastline, there are many places to climb the board, but the best is the bay of San Jorge, Hersonissos, Heraklion and Chiana while the bay of Loutraki stands out for being the perfect enclave for family excursions.
In northwestern Cuba, paddle surfers have colonized Varadero. The Caribbean Riders Kite School kitesurf center also offers paddleboard tours, touring the pristine coast of this popular holiday resort.
Surfing
Originally from Hawaii, surfing has become a worldwide phenomenon that has found a perfect destination in the Canary Islands. Its stable meteorology, influenced by its proximity to Africa, guarantees a temperature that does not go above 24º.
For those who are starting, there are many places where one can surf to learn while for the more 'professional' there are the challenging waves which give you an adrenaline rush like none other.
On Fuerteventura, from Lobos to the Right of the Germans, surfers have a wide variety of waves, from the most vertiginous tubes to more relaxed ridges. In addition to the corals of Corralejo, there are at least another 13 corners on the island where you can take advantage of the perfect waves. On the other hand, Praia do Forte (Brazil)has also begun to enjoy fame in the world of surfing for the variety and quality of its beaches.
Kite Surfing
If you are looking to skate on the water and fly taking advantage of the air currents that form near the coast, this is your sport. Kite surfing consists of sliding on the surface on a board driven by a large kite and has become one of the most popular coastal sports for those looking to mix physical exercise with an adrenaline rush.
It is a demanding sport that tones the muscles of the abdomen, arms, and hands in addition to, of course, generating endorphins.
In most of the most popular 'kite surfers' destinations, there are schools where instructors help to get started and perfect the technique. The most suitable places for kitesurfing are those where the wind is constant, as in southern Spain, where kites are part of the coastal landscape. Near Cádiz, the beaches of La Barrosa (next to Novo Sancti Petri) and Valdevaqueros (Tarifa) are a paradise where to surrender to the wind and the board, both for amateurs and professionals.
Another fetish coast for kite surfers is the Brazilian beaches located between Porto de Sauipie, and Praia do Forte, where winds and temperatures hardly vary throughout the year. In Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), the stellar moment for a kite surfer is… the whole year since the islands boast the best of all seasons, from the strong winds of summer to the calm swells of winter. And, although all its coastline is a magnet of waves and wind, experts always recommend the beaches of Corralejo, those of Costa Calma and Sotavento regardless of your level and your needs.

Parasailing
In many beaches, it is customary to see people flying over the coast holding colorful parachutes. Parasailing has become a very popular activity in recent years by not requiring any training. It consists of a speedboat that pulls a person who, in turn, is tied to a large tarp. With speed, the canvas swells and becomes a parachute with which it flies over the sea and the beach. It boosts your adrenaline levels and is so addictive that everyone who tries it is bound to do it again…and again and again!
On the quiet coast of northeastern Brazil, enthusiasts of this sport have many possibilities to float on water in Porto Beach, near Praia do Forte. Here the boats take advantage of the gentle breezes to easily lift the passengers, who enjoy from the heights of the Baiana coast from a bird's eye view.

Diving and snorkeling
Perhaps there is no other water sport that brings you closer to the essence of the sea than diving as it allows you to experience first-hand a universe that hides beneath the surface. The gentle sway of water and underwater ecosystems create a unique sense of calm. A sport that also has health benefits since it improves lung capacity and strengthens the arms and legs as they are exercised underwater.
While there are other watersports that you can and should try including those exclusive for inflatable aqua parks, these certainly were the ones that are most recommended. Particularly if you are an adrenaline or a serotonin junkie because they are bound to boost levels of both in your body.
