When you go to visit one of Arizona’s lake or rivers you are most likely going to see paddle boarder. However, you are also going to see kayakers as well. Kayaking is a little different than paddle boarding, for starters you never want to stand up in a kayak. Also, the paddle you are going to use is going to have two of the same ends on both sides so that you can paddle in a sort of X motion to get you through the water. The other thing to note is that just like how paddle boards can vary depending on the activity so can Kayaks.
There are many different activities that you can do on a kayak such as fishing, touring, whitewater kayaking, sit-on-top kayaking, and lastly sea kayaking. So, when you go out to pick your kayak it is important to know what activity you plan on doing with your kayak. If you are going to use it for more recreational use then you are going to want to get a kayak that has a wider beam, a large cockpit, as well as one that is at most 12 feet in length. If you are wanting a kayak that is more for white water kayaking, and sea kayaking then you may opt for a kayak that is high in volume, has a displacement hull, and a bow rocker.
Although it may seem tempting if you are a newcomer to kayaking to go for the more extreme stuff. It can be dangerous if you aren’t experienced. So, start with the basics and take it one step at a time. Kayaking is such a unique sport that can offer a relaxing, calming ride, as well as a heart pounding, adrenalin rushing ride as well. Give kayaking a try you won’t regret it!
