Kayaking Is An Art, And A Science, And The Most Fun You Can Have With A Life Vest On!


Does the sound of raging whitewater send chills up your spine? Do you salivate at the thought of surfing a set of five-foot breakers in your touring kayak? Do you see pods of glistening Orcas in your dreams?

In short, are you kayak crazy?

If so, you've come to the right place!  Here at The Kayaking Journal, we aim to educate, inspire, entertain, and hopefully share our enthusiasm for the great sport of sea and whitewater kayaking. We're not a big corporation or an online megastore, we're just a group of paddling enthusiasts who enjoy getting out and exploring nature and the great outdoors.

The goal of this site is to provide an online resource of kayaking information, equipment reviews, places to paddle, places to learn how to paddle, safety tips, and a whole lot more.

No matter what your experience level, there are always new tips and tricks to learn, new gear to buy, new places to paddle. No matter if you're a:

  • Beginner looking to pick up some pointers on choosing the right boat and accessories.
  • A more experienced paddler searching for the latest playboating techniques.
  • Looking to build your own kayak.
  • Just curious about what this sport of kayaking is all about.

Hopefully, we've got something here for you!

Have a tip or a suggestion you'd like to share?  How about a topic you'd like us to explore or a piece of equipment you'd like us to rave about?  Drop us an email and we'll see what we can do to help you out!  We want this to be a friendly site where kayakers of all ages and skill levels can come and exchange ideas and hopefully learn a few things about this wonderful sport along the way.

P.S.  --  Enjoy, explore, and don't forget to sign up for our free "Kayak Crazy" monthly newsletter. You'll find it loaded with tips, tricks, and valuable information.

Outfitting
Outfitting your touring kayak is an important consideration. In addition to a boat, paddle, and a PFD, you'll need a good spray skirt to keep the water out of your cockpit, a bilge pump, spare paddle, compass, VHF radio, navigation charts, camping supplies, and a host of other items. See the Accessories page for more info on outfitting your kayak.
