Kayaking
comes in three flavors. From casting a lure, sipping your favorite
beverage, to banging down steep creeks getting a fix of adrenaline
like no other. In a sea kayak it can be a full body aerobic workout.
No matter which you prefer, there is a kayak for you.
Recreational kayaking
is for the paddler who seeks a boat friendly enough for a first
timer to feel right at home. Whether paddling down a stream or
across a small lake. Recreational kayaks are stable, easy to control,
and fun for anyone. Lessons are not required to get into this
kind of paddling, but a basic kayaking class will make your paddling
experience safer and more enjoyable.
Touring or sea kayaks
are longer, thinner, and paddle in a straight line. Built for
big waves on wide open expanses of water, these boats are sleek
and very fast. In these, one can easily cover ten to twelve miles
in a day. Sea kayaks have varying amounts of storage, allowing
from weekend to month-long expeditions. If you are a canoeist
you'll feel limited for space. If you're a backpacker you'll not
know what to do with the extra space. Sea kayaking requires a
higher commitment of time and money, but will take you to many
exciting, exotic places.
If you are interested
in an incredibly fun, technique- intensive sport that will pull
you in, whitewater is for you! Once you catch the bug, it is nearly
impossible to quit. Wave surfing and big drops are an adrenaline
junkie's dream. Whitewater can be enjoyed on an easier, less intimidating
level on rivers and streams with simple boulder bed rapids and
small waves. There is no better way to see the wilderness than
from the river.
