Kayaking For Fun and Fitness

Kayaking is a 4,000 year old water sport invented by the Eskimos. They needed a flexible craft they could use to hunt seals, sea otters, and other quarry in the Arctic region. This required a small, thin boat able to get close enough for spearing. That is why kayaks are long, thin, and shallow. This means they can go in waterways that bigger vessels cannot. Modern users can thank Eskimos for being able to squeeze through narrow rivers, over rocks and around bends.

Modern day kayaking has evolved into a thrilling water sport that lets you get as close as you dare to nature. Imagine strapping yourself inside a water missile and launching yourself over waves and rapids while tipping, turning and responding to every undulation of the water. Yes, a kayak is that responsive. The small, narrow shape and glove like fit make the kayak easy to propel through water.

If having an intimate, in your face outdoor water experience is not for you, choose a bulky boat instead. If you like action and adrenaline, consider paying between five hundred and two thousand dollars for a plastic or fiberglass kayak. Kayaks come in a large variety of configurations. When choosing a kayak it is a good idea to first decide whether or not it will be used on a lake, river or in the ocean. Once decided, function and features is all that remains. If you prefer to have company, a two person kayak is always an option.

If you are a beginner you may want to consider consulting with the staff from your local sports shop with your questions, tips or even professional trainer references and recommendations. There are also plenty of online resources including a good number of instructional videos. Along with your kayak you will also need a two-bladed paddle, helmet, and wet suit. Even if you are a strong swimmer, a life jacket is still a good idea.

Paddling a kayak is great for strengthening upper body muscles including the back, arms, and stomach. It is a mega calorie burner. If you paddle five miles per hour you can burn 400 calories every hour. Kayaking several hours a day or more can help build stamina and endurance.

Kayaking is a great all around physically engaging activity. Although the cost of equipment can really add up, it is a worthwhile investment in personal health and long term fitness.

Sea Eagle 465Ft 15Ft Fast Track Inflatable 3 Person Kayak Deluxe Package Includes 3 Paddles 3 Inflatable Seats $1893.82 Our NEW Sea Eagle 465ft FastTrack was born to explore large lakes with secluded islands long meandering rivers intimate salt marshes with winding water passages inland bays hidden ocean coves. The secret of this new design is the outside drop stitch keel in the bow and the large skeg in the stern. These features combine to limit the yaw (the sideways movement when using a double end paddle) of this kayak and create unparalleled bite on the water. When the paddler takes a paddle stroke on the left or right side the drop stitch keel in bow acts as a block against the natural yaw of the kayak while the skeg keeps the kayak tracking forward. This bite propels the kayaker forward more efficiently because the natural yaw of the kayak is contained resulting in greater speed and a straighter course in other words the fastest way is the straightest line. A very important feature is the high pressure drop stitch floor. It provides rock solid rigidity to the whole structure of the kayak making it very responsive to paddle strokes. The drop stitch floor even makes this kayak rigid enough to be used as a Standup Paddle Board. The Sea Eagle 465ft FastTrack Kayak can be paddled for many miles and many hours with little effort. It will go straight in whatever direction you want and it will hold a course no matter at what angle you are paddling in relation to the wind. This new design is truly a breakthrough in the evolution of inflatable kayaks. Standard Features:. NMMA Certified. 2 High capacity selfbailing drain valves. Front rear spray skirts with storage below and elastic rope lacing for additional storage above. Separate inner High Pressure Drop Stitch floor for greater rigidity. Large removable skeg at rear to control yaw and improve speed. Outside drop stitch high pressure keel at bow for true tracking. 8 Drings to secure seats for one or two or three person use.

Kayak $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A kayak (sometimes generalised as a canoe) is a small humanpowered boat that traditionally has a covered deck, and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler who strokes a doublebladed paddle. The cockpit is covered by a spraydeck (skirt) that keeps the inside of the boat (and the paddlers lower body) dry. The spraydeck or similar waterproof covering attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible, in some boats, to roll the kayak, capsizing and righting the boat without it filling with water or ejecting the passenger.
