Kayaking...

[JakeR]

Hi Folks,

My wife and I are both pretty keen on trying kayaking. However, we are both complete novices... I did a bit 20 years ago, the wife never has.

We were thinking flat water as we'd like to take the kids.

Anyone know any good forums/clubs where we can get more info?

cheers

Your best bet would be to join a local club and do your 1 and 2 star courses to get some confidence up and then you can decide what to do after that.

There's quite a choice of boats these days. Do you want individual boats or are your children quite young and therefore you'll want to take them in your boats?

Hi Dern,

Thanks for that... good advice methinks. Kids are quite young (prob too young!) so we would be looking at a couple of 2 man kayaks. I quite like the look of the inflatable ones from the point of view of storage and transportation... what have you got?

Great stuff thanks...

My kids are only little (younger than yours) so I guess it would be safer to wait till they're a bit older...
