In the case of river rafting, no buoys will be involved. A 4-6 member team can be formed and the task at hand will be to reach the final destination. Team members will have to work together to ensure the raft is mobile at all times in turbulent waters. Be prepared to experience that euphoric feeling.

Stand up paddle Boarding

Stand-up paddle boarding

As the name suggests,  for stand up paddle boarding the participant has to stand up on the board as shown above. It may be a herculean task for overweight participants, so a solution to that will be lying on the board and swimming. Depending on the team members capacities, options of either standing for the longest time and paddling at a marked distance or lying on the board and swimming up to a marked distance could suffice for the stand-up paddle board task.

Beach Volleyball
