Surfing (Body Boarding).
Surfing is a great sport but it seems almost the total opposite from skiing - cold and hot, wet and not. Living where I do in the world, there's the chance to surf all year 'round. All you need to do this sport in the winter is a wetsuit! If only it could be an Olympic sport - here it could be in the winter Olympics too!
Although I said surfing, I do, of course, actually mean body boarding. I've never been surfing (as in stand up) because it's usually too expensive to get started. I enjoy my body boarding instead, though. Another reason for this is that you don't need to be particularly skilled to be able to start in the first place. You can just ride the wave in lying on your front and you've taken the first step. You don't need the incredible balance that you do with the "stand ups" and hence its a much more beginner friendly sport.
Body Boarding - fun all year round
Not many places to go for this, sorry.
