It is also a good idea to always go out kayaking with a friend or two.Many Kayaks are built for two people. There are also kayaks for singles, and groups of threes and fours.

The following are a few examples of the basic rules of kayaking. These will be important to know?preferably first hand from an instructor. Many kayaking resorts offer kayaking lessons for beginners that include both instruction and in-water adventure. So do not be intimidated. This is a wonderful summer sport I know you would hate to miss out on.

·First you need to know how to stretch your muscles before kayaking:.Kayaking is an extreme exercise for your upper body muscles. You will want to stretch out your arms very well, and if you already have some muscle tone to your arms and back?you will have a great advantage because you will not get tired as quickly as someone who is not as strong.However, kayaking on a regular basis is a great way to build upper body strength, too.
