Like most recreational activities, how much fun you have in a kayak is greatly dependent upon your knowledge and skill level. Sea and whitewater kayaking both require a degree of expertise to be fully enjoyed, and the best way to learn these skills is to practice them on the water. But you can learn from books and magazines, too, and reading can be a great way to keep your head in the sport during the off season. So read on, and make your next paddling adventure the best one ever!
Outfitting
Outfitting
your touring kayak is an important consideration. In
addition to a boat, paddle, and a PFD, you'll need a
good spray skirt to keep the water out of your
cockpit, a bilge pump, spare paddle, navigation
charts, VHF radio, compass, camping supplies, and a
host of other items. See the Accessories
page for more info on outfitting your
kayak.
