Whitewater kayaks

Sportsmen that use whitewater kayaks need to invest in safety equipment. Life preservers and helmets are essential. In addition, one needs basic swimming competence in case of an accident.

Whitewater kayaks allow individuals to navigate rapids on rivers. Rapids are classified by numbers depending upon degree of difficulty. For example, a class one rapid is extremely easy while a class five rapid is extremely difficult to navigate.

Whitewater kayaks can be used for tricks. Shorter boats are incredibly maneuverable and are even used for competitions. Kayakers are scored based on their skills and execution.
