Kayaking is one of the most daring and challenging outdoor games. If you are passionate about adventurous sports, then kayaking is one of the best options. You drift with water in low and high tides and then sail smoothly, or fight the fiery waves by rowing the kayak with utmost subtlety. While you sail, you can also enjoy the scenic beauty and sounds of nature. If you know the kayaking basics, the sport is fairly simple. For beginners, you need to learn kayaking from an experienced person. Go through the following content to know the fundamentals of kayaking.
Kayaking Basics – for Beginners
Be it sea kayaking basics or river kayaking basics, the sport involves a great deal of enthusiasm and stamina. You ought to know the basics of kayaking completely to row swiftly or drift randomly. The most important thing for beginners, is to know the set of rules and basic techniques before trying the sport. This article shall provide you guidelines on kayaking basics. Check out the steps, in succession.
Learn Swimming
I shall voice in one sentence – never try kayaking if you do not know swimming. You can definitely be a master in kayaking, but what if the boat tipped in water? You have every possibility of drowning. Therefore, first learn swimming before you try kayaking.
Balancing in Kayak
It’s very important on your part to maintain balance in kayak. The boat might be unstable when you first step in it. The boat cannot balance in the waves if your sitting posture is incorrect. This leads to mishaps and unwanted problems.
Gripping the Paddle
Once you have balanced yourself in the kayak, the next step is holding the paddle. You must get a proper grip of the paddle so that you can steer yourself in the right direction. If you fail to catch hold of the paddle, it might slip off your hand. Sitting in the kayak without paddle is next to impossible. Always carry a spare paddle with yourself, if such mishaps happen by chance.
Kayak Equipments
Apart from kayak and paddle, you need to be well equipped with other necessities before starting the adventure. You must have a personal flotation device or life jacket. A spray skirt is extremely important to cut water while sea kayaking or ocean kayaking. Helmet is essential for whitewater kayaking or surf kayaking. Other accessories include dry suit, wet suit, paddle jacket, booties, rope bag, knife, dry bags and float bags.
Ruling Waterway
Kayaking techniques vary depending upon the nature of water bodies. The nature of paddles also vary subsequently. You need to know the correct method to steer the direction, accordingly. River kayaking is different from sea kayaking and so from ocean kayaking.
Kayaking Safety Tips
- If you are a beginner, never attempt to learn kayaking by yourself. Practice under the supervision of an experienced person.
- Keep all safety equipments and safety gears with yourself.
- Before you start the sport, check water conditions and weather. Do not take any risk in inclement weather.
- Wear bright colored attractive clothes, so that you can be spotted easily in danger.
- Purchase good quality equipments and boats for a hassle free adventure.
