Tandem Kayak Adventures.

If you ask someone to think of an adventure sport

, Kayaking would be the first thing that would come to mind. For a thrilling, fun-filled water sport, there is nothing like using a kayak. A kayak is a small and a relatively narrow ended boat that seems narrow but can afford a good number of people and supplies.

Except for the sitting space covered by the paddlers, the kayak is made of a hard cage and covered with fabric or polymer material. A typical kayak is designed for one person, but the tandem kayak is a more versatile version that can hold two people. Families do best with a tandem kayak because of the stability and maneuverability capabilities.

To make your adventure worth the memory while Tandem Kayaking, it is imperative to know how to choose the best kayak.

The first and foremost thing to be kept in mind before selecting a kayak is:

- How many people will ride in each kayak?

- The size, weight and fitness levels of the people riding the kayak.

- What type of kayaking are you planning?

- Finally, and this is also important, the amount of money allotted towards kayaking.

When tandem kayaking, there are specific guidelines you should keep in mind.:

1. Place the heavier riders toward the back of the kayak for best results.

2. Adhere to this rule in reverse when kayaking in high winds. In other words when kayaking in heavy cross winds the heavier person must be made to sit in the front for keeping the kayak stable.

3. The captain seat of the kayak is closest to the rear of the boat. It is important than an inexperienced rider avoids this seat.

4. The best time for a new kayak user to take the captain's seat is when the waters and climate are both calm, thereby making it the perfect conditions to obtain experience.

One advantage of a tandem kayak is if one rider is tired or injured, the other can guide the kayak back to safety.
