Discover The Joys Of Kayaking

by Richard_Prosser

There�s no better way to spend a summer afternoon than floating
along a lazy river with the sun warming your skin and a paddle in
your hands-unless its spending that same afternoon dancing with
the rapids and emerging victorious. Regardless of what type of
sportsman you are, whether you prefer a calm afternoon on the
water or a death defying experience you�ll remember for years to
come, kayaking will provide you with the kind of fun that can
last for a lifetime.

For those of you unfamiliar with the sport, kayaking pits man
against the elements in a one man boat that resembles a canoe but
sports a closed cockpit that keeps the kayaker firmly in control.
With a two bladed paddle they can paddle their way through the
water, one with nature and in control of their own destiny.

Does that sound a little overdramatic? For the serious kayaker
this is exactly what kayaking provides-the opportunity to connect
with nature and enjoy a one of a kind experience that they can
repeat over and over and over again. Regardless of whether they
choose to pack a bag and spend a month traveling down the
Mississippi or pack a lunch and enjoy a sunny day out on the
lake, kayaking offers something for everyone.

If you�re the type of person who prefers to spend their
vacations dancing with death and Mother Nature rather than
sitting on the shore you�ll have to give whitewater kayaking a
try. While whitewater kayaking it�s just you, your boat and your
paddle against whitewater rapids that would send ordinary men and
women running for the shore. Being far from ordinary, whitewater
kayakers happily launch themselves into the fray and spend a
frenzied few minutes fighting to keep themselves afloat-only to
do it again at the next bend in the road.

If you want to take it a step further you can hook up with a
large group (and a boat to provide a place to sleep at night,
since sleeping while kayaking generally ends badly for everyone!)
and set off along the coast for a long term sail through the
ocean. This type of trip is rapidly gaining popularity among the
jet-setting bunch, since it combines the opportunity to go one on
one with nature with the chance to see the world as it was meant
to be seen-from the front row.

Like all sports there is some risk associated with kayaking, but
if you take the time to learn what you�re doing under the
watchful eye of a qualified instructor before setting off on your
own you�ll find it�s no more dangerous than, say, cleaning out
your kitchen sink. (If your kitchen sink looks like mine it�s not
even close!) There are hundreds of institutions across the
country that offer classes in kayaking, giving you the
opportunity to learn basic (and not so basic) skills with a
skilled kayaker nearby.

Once you�ve learned how to kayak there are a few rules that you
should know before setting out over the waves. First and
foremost, never, ever kayak by yourself. Never set out into
unfamiliar waters without a map, and never go whitewater kayaking
without first figuring out how to handle your paddle!

Kayaking is an incredible sport that is quickly growing in
popularity all around the world, offering sporting enthusiasts
and water lovers the chance to get up close and personal with
nature in a way they never thought possible.

Give it a try. You will probably never have so much fun.
