1. Have Some Sea Fun
Many people kayak for exercise, but most just enjoy paddling through different waters. It's pleasant to explore the inlets and coves of lakes with a quiet kayak. You can even kayak in the ocean. A modern sea kayak, also called a touring kayak, is a small boat with a covered deck. They're not as easy to manipulate as white water kayaks, but they're comfortable enough for a fairly lengthy trip and they have lots of storage space. They usually even include a hatch or two, so you can easily get to storage below. Another name for sea kayaking is ocean kayaking.
2. White Water Kayaking
You can enjoy the thrill of rafting when you go white water kayaking. From gently moving water to serious and sometimes dangerous white water rapids, there's a place for you to white water kayak. Rapids are classified from one to six, with one being the calmest and easiest rapid to six being the most dangerous and most difficult.
3. Kayak Sailing
Kayak sailing is another great way to enjoy some water fun while also exploring waterways. Sails reduce paddling and frequently eliminate it altogether. You'll be able to sit back and enjoy the sights since you don't have to concentrate on paddling. This is a good form of kayaking if you're planning to tour long distances because you won't get so tired.
4. Kayak and Camp
Many kayaking enthusiasts like to go on weekend expeditions, either with groups or with just a few friends. They combine wildlife watching and overnight camping. Today's kayaks can carry equipment and provisions for up to two weeks.
5. Hit the Waves
Get some action with surf kayaking, a sport that is a combination of surfing and kayaking. You can buy a kayak, called a surf ski, especially designed for this exhilarating sport. Surf skis are narrow and long. They're extremely lightweight. A foot pedal controls the rudder. Ocean surf ski racing has become quite popular in the United States. Ocean surf ski racers also enjoy lakes and rivers.
6. It's So Fishy
Kayak fishing has been around for years, but has recently had a resurgence in popularity. Fishing kayaks are strong, stable and usually cost less than another type of kayak. You can now find catamaran kayaks. These boats have two hulls and give anglers a chance to change positions while fishing for long hours. Some fishing kayaks have built-in fishing rod holders and other features just for fishing. Kayak anglers fish in fresh and salt water. It's a popular sport because fishing kayaks are inexpensive and easy to maintain.
