Does the sound of raging whitewater send chills up your spine? Do you salivate at the thought of surfing a set of five-foot breakers in your touring kayak? Do you see pods of glistening Orcas in your dreams?
In short, are you kayak crazy?
If so, you've come to the right place! Here at The Kayaking Journal, we aim to educate, inspire, entertain, and hopefully share our enthusiasm for the great sport of sea and whitewater kayaking. We're not a big corporation or an online megastore, we're just a group of paddling enthusiasts who enjoy getting out and exploring nature and the great outdoors.
The goal of this site is to provide an online resource of kayaking information, equipment reviews, places to paddle, places to learn how to paddle, safety tips, and a whole lot more.
