Combined rock and water sports are not new they have been around for decades. They have, however, enjoyed a tremendous surge in popularity over the past few years. Unfortunately, many of the people who are discovering this exciting sport remain unaware of the inherent risks and the complex technical skills required to enjoy it safely.
