We check out some extreme sports and activities on land, air and sky. In the water we check out a high-tech surfboard that is mapping exactly how to catch the best wave. We hit the streets with some free runners who scale the urban jungle and we float on air with Canada's only mobile wind tunnel. Would you live in a house of bamboo? What if we told you that it might be as strong as steel and able to withstand earthquakes? Check out how this unlikely material could be the future of design.
