Why canoe or kayak?

The perception of kayaking

When we think of canoeing and kayaking, we most often imagine a canoe or kayak competition. But why? Sports – yes, but why a competition? Do the skiing in the winter makes us slalom competitors? Aren’t we actually doing it for fun?

Another popular analogy and idea of ​​kayaking is paddling in white water and is often confused with rafting. In fact, this type of kayaking is the most niche sport compared to kayaking in the sea, dams and slow-flowing rivers.

On our website, we present and promote kayaking as a sport and entertainment for everyone.

The advantages of kayaking

Without underestimating other water sports, kayaking has undeniable advantages. It is normal to ask yourself “Is this new experience for me”?

Maybe it will help if you ask yourself the question: What kind of person am I and what do I like to do?

  • Are you a nature lover and want to admire it from a different angle, maybe take some gorgeous photos?
  • Do you want to escape from the big city over the weekend and clear your mind with the wide perspective of the dam and a little exercise?
  • Do you want to make sense of your vacation at sea with something different than lying under an umbrella?
  • Do you want to diversify the family picnic, to bring joy to yourself and the children?
  • Are you a camper or a fisherman who wants to fish where there are fishes?
  • Are you an explorer who wants to enter the only possible waterway in the cave, where the waterfall flows? To look up at the rock dwellings of the hermits? To find sheltered beaches or to explore the Greek islands and coast?
  • Are you a wildlife lover and want to watch dozens of bird species in their natural habitat, watch dolphins playing close to you or see deer coming down to water?
  • Are you a sports person and you want to paddle, but to paddle hard and enjoy how fast the shore passes you?
  • Are you tired of windsurfing and kiting or do you just want to try something new that you can practice without wind?
  • Are you drawn to the extreme, such as going down fast rivers, playing in the rock gardens or surfing on high waves on the sea?

If any of the above mentioned makes you feel happy, then the kayak or canoe is for you!
