Getting Started in Whitewater Kayaking

Спорт

Wonder just how to get started in Whitewater Kayaking? Here is a video I put together that doesn't discuss the nuts and bolts of how to do this. Rather, this video details the proper mindset and philosophy a new paddler needs to come into the sport with. There is a lot to sort out for a new paddler and having the correct frame of mind and reasonable expectations will definitely help. Wanting to get started in Whitewater Kayaking? Watch this video!

    I’ve kayaked on lakes for many years but just recently started kayaking white water at 41 years old and ever since I got a little taste it’s all I think about. It’s consuming me. Calling me back to the river. It’s almost the weekend and guess what. Kayak time. I used to hike on my weekends but there’s a new hobby in town….

    Love this so much! Great lesson in life. Do things because they make ourselves happy, not to impress someone else or against someone else’s goals/benchmarks.

    I’ve always wanted to get into it and growing up in Idaho on the payette river would have been the perfect opportunity but I didn’t due to lack of funds when I was growing up. Fast forward to now I’m in Acworth Georgia and I have a few fishing kayaks but never got into whitewater kayaking. Well actually I kinda have one, the Jackson kayak Coosa X can handle some whitewater but probably not with me in it.
