Exercise / Sports : Kayak and Canoe

  

     The sport of kayaking and canoeing is a terrific way to get outdoor, see some beautiful sites, and also increase your upper body strength and overall cardio health. There are many types of kayaking, from intense to very tranquil. While there is basically one type of canoe; a pointed at both ends and open on top vessel, there are three main types of kayaks;  sea kayaks, whitewater kayaks, and recreational kayaks.

Touring kayaks, sea kayaks and flat-water racing kayaks are longer and therefore allow faster speeds while taking away maneuverability. Whitewater kayaks, are normally shorter to maximize maneuverability and depend on the rivers inclination for forward motion. Recreational kayaks are a compromise between tracking and maneuverability, with a lower cost structure.

No matter which you prefer, below are many informative online resources for learning about the specific sport, learning about equipment, and for buying your first kayak or canoe. There are also many great books for helping you better your experience.

Good Luck and Have Fun,

Duncan Davis
