WHITEWATER
Whitewater kayaking is an exciting sport that involves paddling down rivers and rapids – from simple, gently moving water to demanding, challenging rapids. The sport encompasses a wide variety of disciplines, from creek boating to river running to play boating, and each offers different ways to appreciate the river. With so many approaches to choose from, there is a style of whitewater paddling for everyone. Whitewater paddling is becoming increasingly accessible to a wider population thanks to better equipment and improved designs.
Gear made specifically for kids, and in a wider range of adult sizes, has also made whitewater paddling more appealing in recent years. Specified boat and gear designs have grown to meet the needs of each style of whitewater paddling. Creekboats tend to be larger volume with significant rocker, bulbous ends, and a more rounded hull. Playboats are generally shorter and smaller volume, often with a flat hull, slicey ends and sharp chines. River running boats generally utilize a blend of creekboat and playboat characteristics, aiming for a balance between stability and playability.
Boats, paddles, PFDs, and helmets are designed distinctly to cater to the specific demands of paddlers on all types of whitewater. Countless accessories also exist to make paddling easier, more comfortable, and more feasible in a variety of weather conditions.
