Must have kits for kayaking

 

When you are kayaking, you will need essential kits which will help you in enhancing your experience. The very first thing that you need to clarify yourself is kayaks and the canoe are two different things because kayaks are basically boat where you will sit inside and you will have to paddle and it will be having blades on each of the ends. Whereas in the canoe one will have to kneel down for paddling and it will be having a blade on one side and on the other part there will be a handle. So the kits that are essential for kayaking are:

 

• Paddle: Kayak paddles are quite different because they will be having the blades on each end and will be having a length of 210 cm to 260 cm. If you are a tall person then you need long paddles as well. If you are a beginner, you can practice using the plastic paddles. Whenever you are looking towards long adventurous kayaking then you should also take another spare paddle when you are using 2 person kayak.

 

• Buoyancy aids: If you are a beginner then you will have to wear this buoyancy aid. It is quite similar to the life jackets and it will allow the person to move their neck and arm without any hindrance. If you can swim properly still one will be needing it. You can either purchase one or rent it.

 

• Helmet: The experienced kayaks and the kayaking beginners will need to wear the helmets because it will protect their head. Irrespective of the experience they have in this activity they will need to wear it. If you are sea kayaking then you won't always require a helmet, but it is always a good idea to wear it every time you are going into the water.

 

• Wet shoes: Whenever you are going for kayaking activities, it is very essential to wear wet shoes. This type of shoes will be made from the rubber soles which will be grippy and neoprene that will help you in walking on the slippery surfaces as well. If you are wearing flip-flops, then it won't be supporting you.
