6. Deep-Water Soloing – Railay Beach, Thailand
Deep-water soloing originated in Majorca in the 70s when Miquel Riera was looking for places he could free climb. The practice is also known as “psicobloc,” which means “psyco bouldering” as people tend to climb sea cliffs, only having the water below them for protection in case they fall.
