One for this absolute biggest mistakes that new kayakers make is choosing to start in a slim, sleek and sexy kayak. The sleek kayak is produced for speed simple fact can provide many exciting thrills moment has come also typically very volatile. For a new kayaker this means usually rolling head first into the water.
If you don’t mind swimming and just how to to re-board your kayak from from inside the water, then by all means try the speedy process. However for most beginner kayakers desire to stay dry and hopefully get to their paddling destination.
Beginner’s Mistakes.
I took a friend out paddling one time many rice. We were in Deep Cove in Vancouver, B.C. and rented kayaks for the day with our destination to be a little island not very far out. I had kayaked many times before but for my friend it was his occasion. Being his first time out and being an athletic type of a guy, he wanted the fastest boat available to buy. Trying to explain picture of the actual way the different shaped kayaks worked fell on deaf ears. My friends inexperience and slightly overzealous need for excitement had his focus centered solely on getting themselves into a fast kayak.
As we were renting the kayaks I chose that although have for more from experience. After a very brief verbal lesson we hit the water with our destination in view. I noticed quickly that my friend was while on an extremely hassle controlling his kayak. I think he would get the idea of it pretty quick though and paddled along my way. Within minutes I had covered a fair distance and realized that my friend was nowhere in glance. After a quick panic sensation I soon burst into uncontrollable giggles because realized that his kayak had rolled and all I could see was his head bobbing in the. 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 associated with his kayak.
Although my friend’s kayaking experience been found not become a good one, has been created by far one within the funniest kayaking trips I’ve ever had. His deflated ego paddled completely soaked onto our destination where we then switched kayaks. He then paddled the beginner kayak back to shore absolutely no other complaints.
His mistake though a natural for period kayakers might be harmful. Though I had a great laugh out of it, to be frank it may been dangerous and disastrous had buddy hurt himself or been somewhere where help hasn’t been close by.
Lesson come to understand.
The lesson was definitely learned in this case. as a newcomer kayaker it is not important for be best boat in the water. The trick is to get a stable kayak and learn the basics before you progress on towards the speed.
