Summary
Ice swimming sounds uncomfortable. Bog snorkeling seems gross. Log rolling looks dangerous. Yet many people dive into these water sports! Readers are introduced to some strange ways to enjoy the water, such as the cardboard raft race held at Cambridge University in England each year. Fact boxes and sidebars tell the true tales of participants, and colorful photographs show them in action. Through detailed descriptions of each new sport, readers can imagine riding and diving in the waves with the adventurous spirit of kite surfers and Jet Ski freestylers.
