INTRODUCTION TO KAYAKS

In this post we'll talk about one of the adventure sports more popular in recent years because their practice is fully secure and offers another view of the beach and you can walk the coast with your kayak and is a major tourist attraction. It is estimated that the origin of the kayak as transportation is 5000 years old, originally from the tribes located north of North America: Canada and Alaska (now). Today it is practiced in a playful way as a way to explore the coast and enjoy the scenery, but there are also competitions.

First, there are two types of Kayaks:  
  • Kayaks Cover Open
Kayak, Rafting, Canoa, Hombre, Barco, Aventura

This adventure sport can be practiced either solo (single-seater kayak) in the company (tandem kayak). To practice this sport the following materials are needed:
  • Kayak
  • Car
  • Paddle
  • Sea
  • T-shirt
  • Swimsuit
  • Hat

Tips:
  • If you carry a cell phone over, keep it in a plastic bag.
  • Always carry water to hydrate.
  • It is recommended to wear sunglasses to protect eyes from sun reflecting in the water.
  • If the sea is rough and the wind is very strong, it is better not to leave. We always heed the lifeguard services.
  • Is preferable to row long and slow , to give short and quick strokes.
  • In the event that practiced solo or tandem will be to put the oar at the same time and by the same side of the kayak.
