Whether you're interested in adventure sports, rock climbing, snowboarding or sailing, what's the best way to find out information about these sports? The internet. You can find sites that provide tips on how to do a sport, guides on gear buying, competition results, interviews with famous athletes and much more. Here's a list of a few of my favorite adventure sports sites:

Adventure Sports Online: This site is geared mostly towards buying equiptment or booking a trip. There is information about touring companies, links to outdoor product companies, hot picks on gear, a trip and product finder, and event calendar.

Adventure Directory: This site is packed with information! Just select which sport and location you're interested in and you are provided with a list of things to choose from: accomodations, clothing, events, providers, etc. Better than the Yellow Pages. Worth checking out.

Adventure Sports Journal: This is the Web site for a publication with the same name that is based in the Santa Cruz area. The stories are interesting and informational. Worth a read.

Adventure Sports Magazine: This is a Web site for a national magazine by the same name. Its focus is mainly on adventure racing with top notch editorial. There is also an extensive "upcoming races" section.

Adrenaline Pages: This site is a directory for worldwide adventure and extreme sports. It provides links to various outfitters based on sport and location.

Mountain Zone: In my opinion, this is one of the best "adventure" sites on the Web. It focuses on snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking and skiing. Here you will find the latest news on these types of sports. There is also gear reviews, trail finder and videos.

About Climbing: If you're interested in rock, mountain or ice climbing, check this site out. Here you'll find gear and book reviews, location and athlete profiles, how-to tips, and training advice.

Outside Magazine: This is the site for the national, award-winning magazine of the same name. Here you'll find phenominal writing. The articles focus on gear, bodywork and travel. The site also offers a travel directory.
