River Kayaking Facts

A calm river can still have currents that affect the direction and speed of a kayak. Kayakers use a double-bladed paddle, dipping each end into the water in turn to move forward and steer.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does a kayaker wear a life jacket on calm water?
Conditions can change, and a kayak can tip even when the surface looks peaceful. A properly fitted life jacket helps keep the person afloat.
How does a kayaker turn the boat?
The paddler can change the strength and direction of each paddle stroke. Sweeping the blade through the water on one side helps turn the kayak toward the other side.
Why is a helmet useful during a river trip?
A helmet protects the head from impacts caused by rocks, branches, the paddle, or the kayak itself. It is especially important where the water becomes faster or shallower.
