Question:
If you are kayaking on a lake it is pretty easy to do, and a nice place to learn and they aren’t that easy to turn over, unless you hit a rock. I highly recommend it, lots of fun. Roxan – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – We have several friends that enjoy kayaking. . . . we live next to a state park that have a nice little lake and we go camping as a group and they enjoy kayaking on the lake. . . . I’ve never really tried it (kinda looks like I could turn over in one of those things, ya know??). Maybe I’ll have to get braver this summer and try kayaking. . . Cy Fan (Karen) I am on my way to go kayaking for the first time this year. It is still cold here in Pennsylvania, but my kayaking buddies still want to do it. Pray I don’t get dunked, the water temp. is about 40 degrees and the stream that we are doing is spring feed. It has a lot of twists and turns and can be challenging in fast water, oh so much fun and it will add to my exercise plan. I will let you all know how I make out when I get back. Roxan —

I learned by going out with a friend. The first trip we did a large river here, I got caught in a thunder storm, but got hooked the first time I did it. It really isn’t hard to do, I like to run in fast water and small dams. It is challenging and so much fun, take a change and do it. It is a great way to add exercise to your program and have a wonderful time in the process. Let me know if you take the plunge and learn to kayak Roxan.

I was hooked on a five-minute ride in flat water when a couple of kayakers rolled up to the shore and, seeing me gawk, asked if I wanted to have a go. Three strokes and I was hooked. Had to turn back almost immediately because a riverboat (yes, paddles and all) was coming upstream and I was between it and the dock! I could go alone, that isn’t a problem, but it is fun to have someone to talk with later. But I asked my daughter if she wanted to sign up with me, but she has to many classes in firefighting this summer (she hopes to join the local boys). That leaves my son, my ww buddy, and a few other unsuspecting folks… kat ^.^<

I never go kayaking alone, too dangerous and never without a life jacket. There are kayaking clubs in my area that give free courses. My husband is getting interested enough to want to try to do it. If he does he will be hooked too. Roxan

You got it girl. Do it. Roxan
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I am quite sure there are some up here. In Wausau they have a world-class course and people come from all over in the later part of the season. Thanks for all the info. My kayak would look so cute beside my hubbie’s 6 (no, five, one belongs the Boy now) boats! kat ^.^< Look for a kayaking club, I bet that the person that is giving the classes will know where there are some. They have really good trips that usually don’t cost anything if you have a kayak. I bought my second hand off someone who wanted to upgrade for $300. paddle, shirt, and boat for a Rascal, this was a good price considering they cost about $600. new. Mine was like new wasn’t used all that much. Look around for one in the paper or from a club member who wants to buy a different kind. My husband, who worry that I might drown, bought me a really good not cheap life vest made for kayaking for my birthday. These are a little shorter than the one’s you use for regular boating. Roxan I was actually thinking of joining the class on my own, but you bring up an important point. In reality, it would be foolish to go alone! My son is an Eagle Scout and one thing they drummed into the boys is to "buddy up." It would be a long time before I tried any wild water, too. I suppose they make better jackets than they used to: the ones we have always chafe my neck, but they are better than the old "Mae West" style. No free classes around here, but I might get a discount because I work for the college. The classes aren’t too awful expensive, anyway. kat ^.^< I never go kayaking alone, too dangerous and never without a life jacket. There are kayaking clubs in my area that give free courses.

Roxan Great job Roxan– I hope to take a kayaking class this summer through the local college. Went on a quick jaunt many years ago and knew immediately that I had better not do it again until I could do it often; I could feel the addiction kicking in! We haven’t even camped or canoed in years–hubbie’s got a very bad back and can’t go for long jaunts. I should have more time this summer, being down to only two classes instead of a full load. — kat ^.^< My Norwegian-descended friends and I have a deal. They don’t make me eat Lutefisk, I don’t make them eat grits. I am on my way to go kayaking for the first time this year. It is still cold here in Pennsylvania, but my kayaking buddies still want to do it. Pray I don’t get dunked, the water temp. is about 40 degrees and the stream that we are doing is spring feed. It has a lot of twists and turns and can be challenging in fast water, oh so much fun and it will add to my exercise plan. I will let you all know how I make out when I get back.

We have several friends that enjoy kayaking. . . . we live next to a state park that have a nice little lake and we go camping as a group and they enjoy kayaking on the lake. . . . I’ve never really tried it (kinda looks like I could turn over in one of those things, ya know??). Maybe I’ll have to get braver this summer and try kayaking. . . Cy Fan (Karen)

Three newsgroup readers and I can’t get a message. Harrumph. So I rootled around in the one that DID catch this message (but absolutely refuses to allow me to answer), and had to put it in as a new message, sorta. Roxan, although he is the outdoorsman, I think that is what I am going to do. We have a class in kayaking at the college where I work, and I just have to register. Maybe he will try it out anyway. He hates being limited; he can’t downhill or water ski, either. Really bugs him.

Love to Andy, you could beach it in Manhattan and carry it on your head to work, this could be both your aerobic and upper body workout. Boy are my are sore now. Next time you can come along it really is a nice way to see nature. Can’t wait to go again. Roxan
