Kayaking FAQs
Although kayaking is a relatively easier form of surface water sport, beginners need to learn some fundamentals to master the sport. There are some questions that arise in the mind of every amateur kayaker, which need to be resolved to improve their performance. These FAQs (frequently asked questions) are related to various aspects like choosing the right kayaks, paddling techniques, various disciplines of kayaking and kayaking accessories.
Resolving few FAQs
The following are the most frequently asked questions:
Q. Which is the good kayak for a beginner?
A. A sit-on-top kayak is a very good option for amateur kayakers as they are stable and easy to maneuver. If opting for sit-in kayaks, then it is always advisable to opt for kayaks which have initial stability and larger cockpits. Recreational kayaks are the best choice for novice kayaker. As paddlers gain more experience they can go for sleeker models.
Q. Which is the best kayak?
A. It is not possible to select any specific type of kayak as the best. There are various kayaks designed for specific purposes and perform well in particular conditions. Thus, whitewater kayaks would be compact and have great maneuverability but would not be ideal for tracking.
On the other hand flatwater kayaks would have greater stability and great at tracking but not desirable to be used on gushing rapids.
Q. Is it possible to use the same kayak for river as well as sea kayaking?
A. Although it is possible, it is definitely not recommended. River kayaking requires kayaks that are compact and turn easily while flatwater or sea kayaks need good tracking features. Usually squirt or slalom kayaks are used for whitewater kayaking while recreational kayaks are used for sea kayaking.
Q. What is the most essential gear for kayaking?
A. Apart from the kayak and the paddle, a kayaker must not venture for a kayaking session without a personal floatation device (PFD i.e. life jacket) and a helmet. While going for whitewater kayaking, a spray skirt is also equally important. It is also recommended to carry a wetsuit or a drysuit, good shoes and a dry bag.
Q. What are the different materials used for kayaks?
A. Kayaks are made of plastic, fiberglass, wood, Kevlar and fabric. Plastic and fiberglass are used the most with plastic kayaks being the toughest among all. However, they are heavy, difficult to transport and repair.
Fiberglass kayaks are more expensive than plastic kayaks but are faster. They are much lighter in weight as well and hence easy to carry. Fabric and wooden kayaks are labour-intensive and more expensive than others. Fabric is usually used in making folding kayaks.
Q. What are the major points to focus on while buying a kayak?
A. Before buying a kayak, paddlers must take as many test rides or demos as possible. Unless and until paddlers do not ride the kayak, they would not get the feel and judge its performance. Also, paddlers can verify the stability of the kayak by leaning over the sides. The four most critical elements to test before buying a kayak are speed, maneuverability, tracking and initial and final stability.
These are some of the most critical aspects that need to be focused on, especially by amateur kayakers.
