I always wanted to go kayaking but i don't really know much about it
Kayaking is different from canoeing, the way you can tell the difference is by the sitting positions and the number of blades on the paddle.
okay, so there are different sitting positions? i would like to learn more about kayaking since you know so much
Kayak means hunters boat. So the orignal purpose for the kayak was for hunting, and fishing.
how cool is that! What else do i need for kayaking? any special equipment? 
Besides the small, watercraft that the kayak is, you will need a double-bladed paddle.
okay, thank you for that information. so where do people usually go kayaking?
There is a place called Eagle Creek Upper Falls in Oregon. It is a popular place for kayaking.
