Home > Kayaking

Kayaking is the use of a kayak to move over water. A kayak is a smaller, more compact watercraft than a canoe, and riders are strapped into individual seats The sitting position of the paddler and the paddle blades distinguishes kayaking from canoeing. A kayak is a low-to-the-water boat where-in the paddler faces towards the front. The paddler sits with his legs stretched out to the front and is usually enclosed to keep water from seeping in. The paddle is a single pole with a blade on each end. The paddle is held up and kept in rotation by the paddler. Kayaking is also very beneficial to one’s health due to its low-impact strain on the body. Kayaking improves aerobic fitness, flexibility and strength. Furthermore, it improves cardiovascular fitness, and muscle strength in the back, arms, shoulders, and chest. Moreover, kayaking strengthens the upper body, glutes, legs and core muscles. It is an outdoor sport that is enjoyed by beginners and professionals alike. No matter if you are purely embracing this activity for recreational purposes or for competing, kayaking is good fun for all!
