Inflatable Kayak Blog

One of the great advantages of having an inflatable or folding kayak is the ability to go kayaking pretty much anywhere. The portability is a prime asset, however it can tempt you to journey into unfamiliar water more often. If I’m just putting in for a short paddle in an area where I can see from the shore all of the area I’ll be paddling in, I’m not too concerned. But if I’m looking to go down or up river for a longer distance, I’ll try to find someone locally who knows the river and what kind of hazards you may encounter. There may be waterfalls, sections of rapids or really shallow places you need to know about. They may also be able to point you in the direction of some other great paddling spots.
