Kayaking
Clubs are a Great Place to Learn and Meet Fellow Paddlers in Your
Area
Joining a kayaking club can be a great way to
learn new skills, make new friends, and find great new places to
paddle in your neck of the woods. Kayaking clubs offer a
variety of activities, and there are usually experienced paddlers
available to answer questions and help folks who are new to the
sport.
Most clubs have organized outings where you can
experience new paddling adventures and learn new skills. Going out
with a group can stimulate you to push the envelope and try new
techniques. If you're new to your part of the country, a club can
be a great resource for finding local outfitters and places to
paddle. And you might just meet a lifelong friend or two to share
your interests and enjoyment of the outdoors.
No kayaking clubs in your area? Maybe you
can start one. There are a variety of online chat rooms and
newsgroups devoted to kayaking and other paddling sports. If you
ask around, and you might just find others in your area who are
looking to form a group.

| Choosing
the right boat is a big decision. Consider all the
options--hull types, including rotomold, kevlar,
inflatable, etc. The type of paddling you'll be
doing will influence your choice, of course. And if
you're new to the sport, and afraid of being trapped
in your kayak in a capsize, you might want to
consider a sit-on-top model. See the Buying
A Kayak page for
more information on picking the right boat for
you. |
