Kayaking for Beginners

5 of 5 stars
Fun Rating: 5/5

You’re gonna have to wait for this one guys- the video I mean.  Kayaking is an easy sport to enjoy safely for almost anyone.  That doesn’t mean it will be simple for everyone to learn, and at the same rate of speed.  

When it comes to kayaking and paddling sports each person that will be attempting it for the first time will have different challenges.  Some may have fear of the water, others may not know how to swim or may be weak swimmers.  Others may have a mobility issue due to a back, leg, arm or other injury.  

Anyone Can Do It

If you have a limiting condition, don’t lose hope.  My first real interest in kayaking began in college.  It was all because of a Hospitality Management professor.  I remember the first class he taught he was holding a walking stick and his pants were wet… it thought he had an accident.  As I noticed his eyes were funny, he began to share with the class that he was legally blind – only able to see peripherally from his left eye.  “Poor guy” I thought.  

His pants were wet because he would kayak everyday to class following the shoreline with the small amount of peripheral vision he had left.  Suddenly my thoughts towards him changed; “what a strong and resilient man” I corrected my thinking.  Then I thought – almost anyone can kayak, given the right condition and training.

Video Coming Soon  

Although this article is titled Kayaking for Beginners, I will not attempt to write about the techniques, styles and safety practices to kayak successfully.  I’ve seen this done in many other websites and it’s not easy to follow.  At best, you have a mediocre idea of what to expect, and in some cases, after reading such articles you may end up fearful or confused.  Instead, we will produce a short and sweet, and of course entertaining video for beginners.*coming soon
