For anyone who likes trying new sports that don’t involve too many risks then why not have a go at some freestyle Frisbee, Indo boarding or mountain biking during your holiday to Tuscany? The equipment needed is very cheap to buy and provides endless hours of fun. Two of these sports are especially enjoyed on beaches during the summer so why not avail of the plentiful holiday villas along the Tuscan coastline?
Indo boarding is a simple yet fun activity that requires a tough cylinder container or ball and a flat wooden board. The aim of the game is to put the board over the cylinder which is lying on its side and to stand up and balance on it for as long as you can! It’s almost like standing on a seesaw but on a much more difficult scale.
This would be a fun activity for those who are good at surfing or skateboarding as it requires tremendous balance!
