What better wayis there to spend a boiling hot summer day? And if you think it is dangerous, you're dead wrong. It's sosafe, you don't even need to know how to swim! Everyone wears a life jacket while kayaking. So, you see,it's not a sport for the brave only.
Kayaking may look difficult but it's really very easy. Sea kayaking can be learned in 5 minutes! However,it takes about two days to learn river kayaking. And for an estimated US$1,500, you'll be able to own allthe proper equipment, including the kayak. It's not cheap, but good things seldom are.
