Kayaking was my first ‘outdoor sport’. A sport that took me to some insanely cool places & met some incredible friends. Its given me the highest highs & the lowest lows. Its one of those ‘weather dependant’ sports & therefore, when the conditions are right, you have to be prepared to drop everything & drive wherever the water is.
Regrettably, I’ve pressed pause on kayaking. Right now, for me personally, the risks outweigh the rewards. Its one of the most dangerous sports I’ve ever partaken in. Due to the dynamic moving water environment, its only once the accident occurs that the danger begins. My participation might be on hold, but my stories & memories still remain.
