1 Read the text about extreme sports and order the paragraphs.

Kitesurfing and caving are breath-taking kinds of extreme sports that anyone can try after the necessary
training. While you need a small surfboard with foot straps, a life jacket, and a special kite for kitesurfing, you use
only ropes for caving. It may sound that caving is easier; on the contrary, it is a lot more difficult and dangerous
than kitesurfing if you don’t pay attention to safety rules. Needless to say, you must wear protective gear to
prevent serious injuries.

All in all, like other extreme sports, you may experience mind-blowing moments while caving or
kitesurfing, but you may also get seriously injured. If you have enough training and experience and choose the
proper equipment, you can be ready to try them.

After learning how to use the equipment which is essential for the extreme sport you have chosen, you
should be aware of the possible risks. You must be experienced enough and alert for the risks of falling and being
caught in a flood while caving. Nevertheless, you can try kitesurfing on your own after a few days of training as it
is less risky. If you are a good swimmer and have tried other water sports before, you may feel luckier.
Adrenaline lovers are into trying different extreme sports whenever they want to enjoy the feeling of
adrenaline pumping. You may not be one of these people, but this doesn’t mean you can’t try an extreme sport. If
you want to step out of your safety-first world for a while, you can try one or both of the extreme sports below.
