    Land adventures are as varied as the people who undertake them and as diverse as the seasons and terrain. Most adventures come with an element of risk--a chance to confront our deepest fears, resist the gravitational pull of the ordinary and soar into the wild unknown.

    60% of the human body is made up of water, so it is hardly surprising that we are drawn to the 70% of the planet awash in it as well. We are captivated by oceans, rivers and lakes--the power, the flow, the reflective stillness. And as we seek to get closer, we immerse ourselves in an expanding range of aquatic experiences.
