Are there any budding kayakers "out" there/ "in" here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. I don't like getting shitty river water down my throat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't open your mouth when kayaking, plus river water isn't dirty. Where do you think evian comes from? heh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer golden watersports |
||||||||

i have no idea wot your talking about,do you have films to help me out |
||||||||
|

|
|
volcanoes apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, but I've heard they exist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats Volvic mineral water. Evian is from the alps, snow that has melted into the rivers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kayaking is for people who want to bash their heads agaisnt rocks and drink shitty filthy river water. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well if you had any sense you'd see that there is a lot to kayaking. Plus your meant to wear a helmet. |

I did the Gauley in West Virginia- supposed to be top 10 dangerous in the world- I was fucked up the whole time too! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
did you do it in a K2, K1 or raft? Whichever Well Done! |

Hey, that's weird, I'm actually looking to get a kayak this week. I've been doing some homework, this will be my first. Probably just going to tool around in the harbor here, take it to some rivers, ponds. Any suggestions for a beginner? |
||||||||

i went canooing (sp?) in canada once. <'>< |

I've been to Wales, The River Wye nice scenery, shit for rapids. I'm planning to go there again this year but further down and hopefully more rapids. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
canoeing. lol :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get a play-boat kayak, they're short and very stable plus once you get good your going to wanna learn tricks. A good kayak is the the Riot Dominatrix (if you can fit into it. lol) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol. carry on like that and you'll get arrested. |
||||||||
|
|

I've kayaked a bit, and it is pretty nice... nothing extreme, though.. just paddling some nice and quiet lakes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should further your kayaking skills, you won't be sorry when your verting. brb. :) |

I went canoeing last weekend. Was a good time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where abouts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here are a few more pics :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Yes, I think people know how to use google image search. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

none of those pics work... I went kayaking once with a scouts club. It was pretty pointless as we all got outrageously wet and ended up capsizing and being literally 'down the creek without a paddle'. The water is dirty because there are tadpoles and other shit in it. Coca Cola uses water from resevoirs; I doubt Evian actually taps volcanic water. It tastes mundanely crap, not an ounce of magmar particles in there at all -_- |

i want to kayak around ice-blue glaciers some day at my own leasure... or through the everglades or anywhere there's still water and semi-submerged trees with sloths cliiming up them. |
||||||||

i fed some ducks once. they were all sitting in some water. lucky for them i keep a slice of white bread in my pocket at all times. they would have starved otherwise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aren't you a most kind soul, may St. Anthony bless you for keeping ducks at the forefront of your life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw some crows attacking a duck once, very disturbing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I used to kayak a lot. I've done still water (lakes), surf and white water, no touring/sea (aside from in the surf). I used to be pretty slick for my age. I can still x-rescue, roll, etc. without thinking about it, but I'm definately a bit rusty. I would like to do some whitewater again at some point. I'm more into sailing at the moment, I use a Lazer (single man dingy). If I move back to Wales, I'll almost certainly stop sailing and get a windsurfing board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've mainly sailed in toppers but have also had experience with Lazers, it's a bit weird getting used to the way the tiller works but it's way faster than a Topper. WWK is really the best, sea kayaking is boring really unless your a hiker at heart. You should get back into it and start learning tricks, at the moment i'm still learning how to perfect my "double pump" (which leads up to the vert) and my "stern squirts" are getting really good. |

I did the Gauley in a 8 person raft, so I guess I was really just holding on, but I tried to paddle during the times that I thought death wasn't imminent. Cant imagine doing it in a Kayak though I saw a few that were. The Gauley is an old river with rocks as large as 3 bedroom houses- lots of was-outs under them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So I ordered one. There isn't really any good rapids around here, so I went with a recreational kayak. It should be here in July. I can't wait! Now I have to get a roof rack for my car and a PDF, Paddle etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's just a touring kayak... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I like lazers, they're not really capable of monstrous speeds, but in strong winds about as powerful a boat as I can handle on my own. I find toppers a bit small/slow now. I've never tried stunt kayaking, I've only done a few 'messing around' things like seal launches off high rocks/down steep slopes ('capsizing' on concrete hurts like hell :)) and standing on the back of mates' boats etc. Also done verts in a pool with a mate holding the bow up and spinning it, but I can't do them under my own steam. I've not had a go in a new kayak (I usually use dancers), but I imagine the new, generally shorter, length makes stunting easier? I was in a watersports store a couple of months back and I asked why they were all stunt kayaks and he said they weren't but most new ones were really short. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I've been canooing in the river Wye. Bad move, really as I know someone who died in the same spot in a kayak accident. Oh well, I learnt from his mistakes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol pray tell, what mistakes were they? welcome to the board too Try-pod :) |

:D so I see you've been accustomed to the turtle roll (a roll on dry land). Do you know how to roll properly on water? Before you get into stunt kayaking make sure you can edge, roll, and have a pretty good high support. I love to do seal launches :) they really give you a buzz. Play boats aren't that new but they all are short. It's not really the length that makes them play boats but the fact they are low volume boats which allows the kayaker to control the kayak more. They also have their ends flattened so you can slice them under the water. Their shortness allows them to be more manoeverable. As for the boats in the shop they were probably BAths canoes, short fat and stubby boats. Not all short boats are Play boats. I'd like to see pictures of your kayaking escapades, they sound quite funny and enjoyable. P.S when your "vertin" in the pool get your mates to help you find your balance, use a paddle to help you maintain the vert :) |

You bought a sea/touring kayak. Their good for paddling long distances in a quick time. I'm not really familiar with that branch of kayking, please keep me updated on your little adventures. Where abouts are you planning to "tour"? P.S loads of pics please :) |
||||||||

I've been to the Wye and you'd have to try really hard to die. Are you sure it was the Wye. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds cool! :) and hey you survived and that is somthing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im going tubing in lake mendota this afternoon! i love summer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah cos the Wye is really very shallow (I reckon about a foot in places) and he rolled over (dunno what that one's called in the ol' canoe lingo) and cracked his head and died. Wasn't really a friend, more of a friend of a friend. The question we must ask is...Wye? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I plan on cruising around Boston harbor, there are some islands and the plan is to camp out on them before the end of the summer. I'll be sure to take pics. I'll also take to some rivers up in New Hampshire/Vermont. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, I thought you'd be more into stunt kayaking but you make touring sound quite adventurous, are you going island hopping by yourself. P.S that kayak was expensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I like to go for the distance and the workout. Also like to fish so it should be a good time. I have three friends who also have kayaks and like to go camping. Should be a fun summer. yeah it was expensive, but I figure, if your gonna do something, you might as well do it right. Plus I wanted one really light, it's only 44 lbs. |
