Kayaking is a water sport where individuals propel a small, narrow boat called a kayak using a paddle with two blades. The kayak is designed for specific conditions, from calm lakes to challenging rivers. Participants sit inside the boat, often wearing safety gear like a life jacket. Paddling involves alternating strokes on either side to navigate and control direction. Kayaking offers both recreational enjoyment and physical exercise, requiring balance, coordination, and awareness of water conditions. It’s accessible for many and can be done solo or with others, providing an engaging way to explore waterways and enjoy nature.
