I've always wanted to Kayak in river rapids! How long have you been kayaking?
Yes, those are some of the most fun. I especially like heading over waterfalls. Been doing it for over two decades since soon after I could swim.
That's awesome! That must mean you're a pro. Ever thought about giving classes to beginners?
I'd definitely like to teach classes. You mentioned you wanted to kayak the rapids sometime, did you have any questions about the sport?
How dangerous is kayaking for a beginner? What would be some of the risks?
It is not very risky if you are on a lazy river or still lake. Whitewater rapids on the other hand are extremely dangerous and some of the risks are hypothermia or cold shock from the water or hitting debris/hanging trees and being knocked off.
I would just be terrified of getting eaten by something. Where I live there are alligators in almost every lake, or so we're told. That fills me with drea.
