Kayaking?
So I'm thinking this might be quite fun? I need a hobby.
One that hopefully could be conducive to a decent suntan come the summer and a reduction in my bingo wings to boot.
Only I know nothing about them.
Anyone kayak here? I know I need a life jacket, a paddle and a canoe style boat, bottle of wine and mobile phone, oh and my sunglasses and factor 30 ...
What kind do I need? A sea kayak for using on ... the sea? Or are they just for fishing? Are there different sizes? Better makes than others? Do they come in pink? Are there sea faring rules and regulations I need to know or do I just launch her with a bottle of Bolly and set sail, so to speak?

My OH has a canoe and my eldest ( age 8 ) loves kayaking. Infact,he wants one to bring to NZ!! He says if his dad gets to take his 16ft canoe he wants a kayak.
Why not try this forum which is all about paddling sportshttp://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk
someone here might be able to answer your question. Hope this helps

Hi Am Loolah
I have a sea kayak & going to get the Missus one for Christmas if she's good
You'll also need a seat with a back rest, they clip in & will help prevent you getting backache.
The best news is that they do come in PINKas I asked the guy in the shop at Silverdale. The bad news is that none of the blokes would test it for seaworthiness
, muttered something about rather being dead!!!!!
