How to go Kayaking
It made me
 "It was not as hard as I thought it would be."
How I did it: This summer a friend and I took our kids to Beaver's Bend. We rented a cabin right on the river. I had been wanting to learn to kayak for many years, and it was much easier than I thought. I didn't flip once.

How I did it: I hooked up with a volunteer-run organization called The New York Downtown Boathouse, which provides free kayaking lessons and guided trips in NYC. NYDBH provided all the equipment--the kayak itself, oar, the life jacket, even a locker to store my stuff in. Best of all, everything was free. All they ask for is a donation (and I was more than happy to oblige them). The volunteers are really great. Read how I did it…
How I did it: At the beach we rented kayaks. They were $35 to rent for 2 hours. We could have stayed out longer...no one else was renting, they would not have cared. Read how I did it…
How I did it: When first arriving to D.C., a woman was telling me that one of the things she was looking forward to doing was kayaking on the Potomac River, the same river that 1st U.S. President George Washington relied on for his livelihood and transportation. So today I went to Georgetown and came across the Thompson Boat Center, a place where you can rent kayaks and canoes. I rented a kayak for an hour, and kayaking was actually very easy! It was s… Read how I did it…

How I did it: While camping at Dutch Hollow last weekend, some of our menfolk came across a flier for kayak rentals. I have been wanting to go kayaking for the last year or so, and did not hesitate to call and set up an appointment for the following day. The outfitters we called shuttled two kayaks down to the lake for us and gave us about five hours to enjoy ourselves. We rotated in and out of the kayaks and everyone had a good time, even my bro… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Find a class or a group to go with. If you've never gone before you'll want to get some instruction with other beginners. I heard about a canoe club here in Philadelphia. Turns out they are classes in all kinds of water sports. People who love what they do want to share it with others. Read how I did it…

A long ride down the coast of Bois Blanc Island, right on Lake Huron. A kayaker’s dream. The trees, the sky, the view, the water. It was heavenly.

I’ve been a kayak guide on Oahu for some time. Here’s a shot of me kayaking off Koh Samui island in southern Thailand. You can go on guided tours of the nearby Angthong National Marine Park and camp on the beaches. See my comment for a shot of the park.
Once I got out on the water and learned how to control my vessel, I was fine. Lot easier than I thought it would be. I look forward to going again when it gets warmer.

I just found out that a local outfitter takes out people, on kayak, via the Chicago River, to watch fireworks.
Its $50 a person and happens every Wednesday and Saturday night. I need to save up some money and get this done!
I haven’t lived in this city very long. I just discovered that there is a local kayaking outpost about 20 miles away. Looks like fun! This should be an easy goal to accomplish.

Sea Kayaking in the ocean in Mexico. Too much fun. We kayaked out to a sand dune and got out and played. HopefullY I will move somewhere and be able to go more often!
I might be going sea kayaking in Gran Canaria in February, if the kayaking company ever emails me back (maybe they are still trying to decipher my pidgin spanish). It sounds really good. I’m thinking about going on a week’s kayaking holiday in the South of France later this year (river not sea) so this would be a good opportunity to try it out before then.

My friend Marilyn just called and said her husband got a REALLLLY well paying job and so she will be taking over the tattoo shop for him and with all the extra money she will be getting a Kayak for two people in the spring! Yeah, I’ll get to go kayaking right when I get back from fat camp before I move. She is my biking buddy, we started biking this past summer and decided to add some more sports next year b4 I leave! FUN! PLUS, I just found out that my uncle used to own a kayaking tour guide company and he was a guide in Maine years ago. How weird….I don’t know what my obsession with kayaking has been lately. I even went to pro bass shops and looks at the ones there…..it’s cheaper than biking! even when you buy the WHOLE BOAT!
