What is Kayaking?

Sometimes confused with canoes. Kayaks have spray decks and are generally used on rougher water including sea kayaking. Originally an Inuit or Eskimo design with the boat consisting of a light wooden frame covered with watertight skins  with the kayaker using a double-bladed paddle.  Modern kayaks are typically constructed from plastic, wood, fabrics over wooden or aluminium frames, fibreglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre.

What will I be doing during the Kayaking session?

The paddler faces forward, grasping the double-bladed paddle and dipping the blades alternately on either side to propel yourself forward. Our qualified instructors will give you suitable tuition during the session to ensure you get the most out of the activity.
