20/Male Bern

Welcome and Introductions
1
Hi I'm 20/Male from California new to Bern. I'm going to be studying at the University for a year. I am looking to stay active while I'm here. I play tennis, go Backpacking, snowboarding. I'd like to water ski before it gets colder but I don't expect to be able to here. So if you do any of those activities or have info about them in Switzerland shoot me a message.

Would you be willing to travel to Lausanne?

Welcome to the Forum.

West of Bern (on the east side of lake Neuchâtel) is an old town Estavayer-le-Lac.

Unusually, there is an 800 meter circular, water ski / wake board wire towing system, open from May to September.

Free4Style - International Wakeboard Contest: wakeboard, jet-skis and all kinds of other vehicles for water sports come together

– along with their acrobatic drivers - here in Estavayer (June/July).

Hey Joros and Katie!

I am also studying at the university on an exchange program. I gladly drink and when winter comes definitely snowboard!

I also downhill skate if anyone knows anyone in Bern . . ?

Downhill skate?!?

Yes! Switzerland happens to have the best hills in the world

Hey, I am too old for downskating (34 y.o.) but I gladly drink and also ski when winter comes (like a really old man, trying to be careful as I tend to brake my legs from time to time and I still need them).

I am too lazy to do anything reasonable today, so I will be hanging out in the city centre, if anyone wants to join me for a few drinks tonight, please PM me.

Ciao-ciao!
