Throughout the years we have highlighted the amusement resulting from water sports; however, in this ecotreasures magazine issue we recognize a particular reward: a joyful smile. This facial expression can beautifully show happiness felt during snorkeling, diving, surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboard, kitesurfing or sailing experiences. Seeing people smiling when doing any of these sports may also be pleasant.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we share photographs of outstanding smiles during kayaking adventures in Municipalities of Arecibo and Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. The beauty seen in a freshwater forested swamp and reservoir provoked felicity and invaluable smiles. Notice the jolly kayakers in the images in this article’s photo gallery.

Hold dear the happy moments while surrounded by water and other Mother Earth’s gifts.
