So, how hard is kayaking? I’ve really wanted to learn, but I’m not a huge fan of getting wet. Like I know how to swim, I’d just RATHER be sunning my pasty ass with a mixed drink pool-side. Suggestions for learning to kayak without breaking a sweat?
Kayaking is not that difficult on flat water. It just requires a little balance. Mixed drinks pool side may make the learning curve steeper. For someone who wants to kayak on flat open water, something like a Wilderness Systems Pungo 120 is ideal. For choppier water or ocean front paddling, probably a sit on top like the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 is good. If you want to do sea kayaking, long distances or serious whitewater, that’s a whole ‘nother animal and you need special gear. I would suggest finding some local river that has an outfitter and renting a kayak to try out the sport. I am inherently lazy and loathe sweating, but kayaking is a nice break and forces my pasty white ass out into the world at large. If I can manage it, anyone can.
