Kayaking

Kayaking and canoeing is a water sport which is practised in a lot of countries including Canada. There are a lot of different types of kayaks like sea kayaks, racing kayaks and Daggers. It is a great sport sport to practice in the summer because you are on the water all day.

You can fit at the most 4 people in a kayak, that's called a k4. There are a lot of brand names for kayaks but none that I am familiar with. Kayaks are very sinkable it can take 8 minutes to sink a k4. That's why there are lessons on how to flip your kayak over when you tip. When you are ready to carry your boat or bring up your boat you should always have someone to help you otherwise the boat will crack in half and the repairs will be very costly. If you don't know how to swim this isn't that great a sport for you.

Now there are also canoes and there are two different types of canoes racing canoes which is extremely hard and pleasure canoes which are easy and relaxing. Racing canoes are really difficult because you have to maintain your balance and you paddle on one knee. When people race in these canoes it makes it very challenging for them because they can't fall outor else they are disqualified. If you want to do well in racing canoes you have to train really hard on how to keep your balance. When you race in canoes it's easier to win because fewer athletes practice that sport because it's harder. Pleasure canoes are so much easier because you have about three seats and all you do is paddle away sitting down.

I hope one day you decide to choose kayaking or canoeing as a sport because it is a very amusing sport and I'm sure there is a kayaking or canoeing club near your place. Remember it's a very gret summer sport and it is not very expensive.
