Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How old do you have to be to kayak?
A: I started at age 3-1/2. It isn't how old you are, it is do you
want to do it? Will your parents help you do it? Do you like to get
wet and have fun?
Q: Is it hard to kayak?
A: yes, it is very hard, but then it is very fun too! It's like
riding a bicycle or a skateboard or a snowboard, once you learn it,
it gets easier. At least unlike snowboarding, you're only hitting
water with your face when you lay an edge down.
Q: Is Slalom racing hard?
A: It can be very hard when the course is challenging or the current
in the river is really pushy.
Q: Is surfing your boat hard?
A: It's kind of hard at first because you have to learn how to
balance and control your boat in the hole. Every boat behaves
differently. But once you learn to do it, it is super fun and when
you start learning to do tricks in the hole and on the waves, it's
mega-fun!
