Extreme Kayaking
If you are finding canoing a little staid, have you ever considered giving extreme kayaking a go? Along with white-water kayaking, you may want to give sea kayaking or kayak racing a try.
Certainly, for any of the above forms of kayaking you will need to have the right sorts of equipment. The most important thing is that you actually have the right sort of kayak. As you will soon discover that, the kayaks used for racing are somewhat different in design from those used for either sea or white-water kayaking.
A race kayak is designed for use in flat water and is much longer and narrower than other styles of kayak. This is because they often only need to be paddled in one direction in a straight-line. As for white-water kayaks, these are generally far shorter than race or sea kayaks as they need to be maneuvered very quickly in order to avoid hazards that white-water rapids are likely to throw up at them.
Another difference between white-water and racing kayaks is the shape of the hull on the white-water ones they come with a planing hull. This means that if at any time the kayak is hit by a wave instead of it pushing it to one side it actually causes the kayak to be lifted out of the water. This gives the appearance as if the kayak is actually skipping over the surface of the water and makes it easier for the person in it to do tricks.
