One in the absolute biggest mistakes that new kayakers make is choosing start in a slim, sleek and sexy kayak. The sleek kayak is created for speed and though can provide many exciting thrills it is also typically very jostled and jerked around. For a new kayaker this means usually rolling head first into water.
If have to have mind swimming and understand how to re-board your kayak from in the water, then by all means try the actual speedy process. However for most beginner kayakers desire to stay dry and hopefully get it their paddling destination.
Beginner’s Mistakes.
I took a friend out paddling one time many years ago. We were in Deep Cove in Vancouver, B.C. and rented kayaks for day time with our destination being a little island not very far out. Got kayaked often before but for my friend it was his occasion. Being his period out and being an athletic connected with a guy, he wanted the fastest boat available to buy. Trying to explain complicated and highly diverse of the different shaped kayaks worked fell on deaf favourite songs. My friends inexperience and slightly overzealous need for excitement had his focus centered solely on getting themselves into a fast kayak.
As had been renting the kayaks I made the decision that he would have to know from experience. After a very brief verbal lesson we hit the water with our destination on the horizon. I noticed quickly that buddy was an extremely hassle controlling his kayak. Seemed he would get the idea of it pretty quick though and paddled along my manner in which. Within minutes I had covered a great distance and realized that my friend was nowhere in picture. After a quick panic sensation I soon burst into uncontrollable giggles while i realized that his kayak had rolled and all I could see was his head bobbing in the actual. Laughing so hard I could barely paddle I watched as a speed boat came to his rescue, hauled his embarrassed butt into their boat and helped him to obtain the water through his kayak.
Although my friend’s kayaking experience been found not to a good one, hints by far one on the funniest kayaking trips That i have ever had. His deflated ego paddled drenched onto our destination where we then switched kayaks. He then paddled the beginner kayak back to shore with no other complaints.
His mistake though quite normal for occasion kayakers could be very dangerous. Though I any great laugh out of it, in reality it would’ve been dangerous and disastrous had my friend hurt himself or been somewhere where help had not been close just.
Lesson understood.
The lesson was definitely learned however. as an amateur kayaker its not needed to be best boat in the water. The trick is to obtain a stable kayak and learn the fundamentals before you progress on for the speed.
