Kayaking is usually an individual water sport. Kayaks are
made from a special type of plastic and have floatation devices inserted to aid
buoyancy. Kayakers move through the water with a double blade paddle
understanding river flow, negotiating rapids and obstacles on the river,
enjoying unity with nature and the river.
