Who kayaks?

Question

who kayaks..is it fun..how much does it cost...is it hard

Answer 1

1. I do both touring (sea) kayaking and recreational (still water) kayaking.

2. It's a lot of fun. You can see different views on a kayak.  

3. I won't say it's cheap but it's an affordable sport, for sure. You can rent the gears and kayak first. If you're into it, then shop around for used kayak or buy a package deal from Kayak store.

4. It's easy to learn but it's hard to master.

Answer 2

Kayaking is very fun! It can be expensive to get all the gear, but not too bad if you know where to look. Kayaking can be hard (i.e. It requires strength) but it really depends on what type of kayaking you will be doing.

Answer 3

An author wrote of 'messing about in boats'. And that is exactly what today's kayaking is all about. Kayaking for the Inuits was a lfe or death business. Grade six boaters put their life on offer every run. Tubers drink beer and enjoy. Kayaking can be a world class sport challenge or a pleasant trip on a quiet river. Find a local club. Take a course. Try the NOC website.

Answer 5

Kayaking is a great sport. You can try it out by renting and going out with a guide who will teach you. If you decide you like it the gear can be a bit expensive but its a life long sport, one you will likely always enjoy.

This website has lots of great information about kayaking - http://www.kayak-escape.com/

i'm not sure about the cost, but kayaking is so much fun.  when you get really good, you can learn to go backwards.  at first, it seems kind of hard, but as you keep doing it, u get better and better.
