Learning a new sport as an adult can be an intimidating thing. There are so many different types and particularities within canoeing, that it is hard to know where to start. You may be asking yourself questions like, “Do I buy all of the equipment, or do I rent?” and, “Do I take lessons, or try to figure it out on my own?” If you are just starting out, you may find some relevant information to help get you started.

Kayak camping in winter offers a unique blend of solitude, serenity, and adventure. While it may seem daunting to paddle through icy waters and camp in freezing conditions, the rewards are worth the effort for those who prepare well.

Jackson Kayak has announced the acquisition of Eddyline Kayaks, best known for its lightweight thermoformed recreational and touring kayaks. The move brings together two established brands with the shared goal of making kayaking more accessible and enjoyable for a wider range of paddlers.

The difficulty in selecting a touring kayak is narrowing it down to just one. You need to be careful when selecting a touring kayak that suits your size, planned distances, water types, and experience. You can easily find yourself looking at boats 12'-18', but the right touring boat for you will be different if you are looking for a multi-hour day trip versus a week-long sea kayaking expedition.
