As the temperature rises, it's the toughest season for outdoor enthusiasts. The sun burns and mosquitoes make outdoor camping less comfortable. But how can people who have been "wild" all spring release their outdoor passion? What is the end of the camping season in summer? Play with water, of course!

Browsing social platforms, oar boarding has gradually become a popular outdoor sport, seaside, lake, River course, even reservoir, moat... There are people wearing brilliant foot-stepping colorful oar boards everywhere. Almost every first-and second-tier city has an oar club. More and more people want to try this sport. Even industry insiders predict that oar will be a phenomenal outdoor sport after camping.

In mountainous areas, people have different interpretations of summer outdoor sports. With a cool mountain wind, cool spring feet, water playfulness and upstream climbing, River and Canyon exploration has become a favorite outdoor activity for "mountain people".

Stream and Canyon Adventures originated in the European Alps and evolved over the years into independent outdoor activities. Stream tracing, as its name implies, is downstream to upstream from the canyon stream, while Canyon exploration is downstream to upstream from the canyon stream. It is an outdoor activity that combines comprehensive technologies such as mountaineering, rock climbing, camping, swimming, rope operation, waterfall, and field survival.

What you think of as madness is everyday

Why are these water sports so hot?

Zero basics: Compared to surfing and canoeing, oar boarding is easy to get started. Start by kneeling and you can quickly glide over calm water. Stream tracing can be divided according to the difficulty of the route, which can be easily experienced by children and adolescents.

Close to nature: People who are suffocated by the epidemic are more hungry for nature, and the explosion of camping reflects this trend. In lakes and valleys, there are different natural worlds waiting to be explored.

Multivariate mix: Both water sports can be combined with other outdoor activities to create a rich vacation experience. In addition to camping, yoga and fishing on oar boards are also popular today. While tracing streams, you can also climb, hike and ride to enjoy the gifts of nature.

Water as the Soul to Create Differential Experience

It is often said that mountains and rivers depend on each other. Water plays an important role in the development of mountain tourism. Water is not only the source of life, but also creates conditions for outdoor activities. How to use water resources to create a differentiated experience, the Alpine town of Sixt-Fer-_-Cheval gave excellent answers.

Sixt-Fer-à -Cheval is about 70 kilometers away from the famous outdoor sports town of Xiamuni under Mt. Brown. When Xiamuni attracts outdoor sports enthusiasts mainly by hiking, mountaineering, paragliding, mountain biking and other mountainous sports, water-based streaming, drifting, camping and water-wading become the main tourism products of Sixt-Fer-à -Cheval in summer.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 30 waterfalls in the town's area, even countless streams and streams. The town has opened up hiking trails with water as an attraction and symbol to provide outdoor enthusiasts with "entre lacs et cascades" as a tourist product. This route features water as a theme element connecting the best hiking points in the area. Visitors can experience activities such as stream tracing, drifting, horseback riding, camping, rock climbing, and living in an alpine log cabin. Compared to traditional mountain hiking, the content is more interesting and therefore attracts a large number of tourists every year.

At the same time, the basic facilities of the town are also perfected. According to statistics from the Official Tourism Department of the Sawa-Mont Blanc region, the town can accommodate nearly 3,500 people, ranging from resorts, recreation centers, accommodations, Alpine cabins and camps. With its abundant mountainous resources, especially water resources, it has long served as an outdoor research base for many schools in France.

New trend of kids, broad market for education and training

No water, no summer. As mentioned above, the town of Sixt-Fer-_-Cheval attracts a large number of parents and research tourists. Trendy, interesting and educational water sports are a powerful attraction for parent-child families and school groups.

During water sports such as tracing streams, children can learn simple outdoor skills, master the correct method of crossing streams, understand the underwater micro-world, and feel the beauty of nature. At present, there are also many products on the domestic market, such as one-day parent-child backtracking experience or backstream summer camp. Children can harvest endurance, perseverance, mobility and unity while they experience outdoors...

In addition to improving physical fitness and learning skills, some water sports also help students to enter school. The oar sport is currently managed by the Water Sports Administration Center of the State Administration of Physical Education. Since last year, the Experiencers can obtain relevant certificates through training and examination by relevant authorized agencies. The L1 oar level certificate can be obtained by training + examination on the fastest day. It is understood that oar board sport can now obtain national athlete qualification through competitions, and there are separate enrollment in Colleges and universities. It is helpful to apply for school interviews to master the certificates of small-group outdoor sports. Therefore, the water sports education and training market will gradually expand, not only for novice experience, but also for more people through regular training for life.

Making water sports risk manageable

Despite the huge market potential, domestic water sports such as oar board and stream tracing are still very small, and the relevant supporting systems, policies and regulations, and the quality of employees are still in the initial stage, so it is very important to make the risk of water sports manageable and controllable.

Increase risk management awareness and revere nature

For the experiencer, to participate in outdoor sports, always be vigilant, do your best, follow the instructions of professional coaches and instructors, wear safety equipment as required, and reduce the chance of accidents.

Promote Employee Level

Outdoor sports practitioners need a wide range of abilities. In addition to related knowledge and skills, the most important thing for a good coach and instructor is the ability to lead a group and experience in crisis management, so that participants can experience activities and enjoy sports.

Improve the management system

Many water sports are still in the grey areas. They often follow a one-size-fits-all management policy after safety problems, simply blocking lakes and rivers, leaving people nowhere to play. People need to play with water, need nature, and this part of the need will be further expanded with the awakening of outdoor awareness. Newcomers also need good guidance to learn how to get along with nature and build a harmonious outdoor atmosphere. With the continuous development of the outdoor sports industry, it is expected that an effective management method can be established, a solid foundation can be established, and the outdoor industry can develop in a benign cycle.

China is not short of high-quality outdoor resources, nor of people who love the outdoors. Let healthy outdoor activities sublimate green resources, meet the needs of the public through good control, stimulate sports enthusiasm, and guide a healthy lifestyle.
