anybody kayak?

Postby tomcat360 » Mon May 01, 2006 8:41 pm

Hey yall,

I've been flatwater kayaking for a while, and now I kinda want to get into whitewater.

Just kinda wonder, what kind of boat should I look into, and have ya'll taken classes or just gone out and winged it?

Thanks in advance

A bloke I used to work with took up kayaking a couple of years ago, he did a course with the local yachting association before he started going out

..often thought about having a crack at it myself , looks fun ... i saw this maniac slide into a wave sideways on and barrel roll just as it broke ..it was surreal he just kept rolling and rolling and rolling ...came up smiling so i guess he meant to do it !?!

I think the one thing that you don't say if you don't want someone to ask you something is "don't ask", just makes the person want to ask more.

So I guess you could say I'm asking :wink: If it's another flipped upside down hit a rock story or something, you don't have to share it you're uncomfortable with it.
