I enjoy pretty much everything outdoors. The hobbies I have pursued seriously include:

Rock Climbing
Ice Climbing
Mountaineering
Backpacking
Running
Ultra-Running/Endurance Hiking
Hiking
Mountain Biking
Road Biking
Bowhunting
Hunting
Canoeing
Kayaking
Windsurfing
Skiing
Fishing
Caving
Snorkeling
Cliff Jumping (if that counts)

There are probably more that I'm forgetting. I enjoy tracking, foraging for wild edibles, general wildlife observation and identification, botany, etc. I'm guessing you wouldn't count more "proper" outdoor sports like tennis? I would say that to be counted as a hobby it should be something one is proficient at and enjoys doing. This could perhaps rule out windsurfing for me as it is a fairly new pursuit and I'm certainly not an expert at it yet. The other listed activities I consider myself very competent at.

Completely forgot about that since I have only done it twice. I will definitely be doing it in the near future now that you have said it!

Right now, backpacking, hiking, soloing, some indoor climbing(?), bouldering, mountain biking, longboarding and some basic spelunking. I am very interested in getting involved with the alpine club of canada so I can start learning more about mountaineering. I have also been interested in starting bow hunting but chances are money will keep me from doing this.

Skiing, hiking, camping, hunting, shooting like skeet and stuff, and fishing. Fly fishing is probably my most passionate thing, followed by fishing for bass (not really a fan of trolling for trout etc.)

Was just watching fly fishing videos on Vimeo and I hate to say it but with the NY weather of 40 degrees and rain I could just skip winter and go straight into spring. First year I really felt it haha, but oh well, so ready for throwing some flies for trout and bass in the summer
