Whitewater Kayaking in Seattle
By JD Gaffney, Washington Kayak Club



Kayaking is a fabulous way to enjoy the outdoors. It allows you to be very intimate with nature, while challenging yourself at the same time. With all the hype around it today, it is sometimes seen as a sport for daredevils. That's a misrepresentation, because the beauty of kayaking is that it's only as intimidating as the individual makes it. It can be about big waves and holes, and even waterfalls, but just as easily, it can be about floating on a beautiful river as it flows through a canyon, catching glimpses of places that others never see.

Kayaking can be a social experience as well, since you should always be with other paddlers. There are not a lot of kayakers out there, so there is a strong sense of camaraderie amongst those who paddle, and they watch out for each other.
