Hayaking Kayaking Sea kayaks are perfectly suited to big water, where wind-driven waves make paddling a canoe difficult or dangerous. A kayak cuts the water like a knife and responds to the touch of a paddle blade. Waterproof cargo holds at the front and rear hold enough food and gear for up to two weeks.
Sea kayaks are easy to learn to use.
They aren't nearly as tippy as they look. With a paddle blade on each side, you don't have to do any of the difficult correcting strokes required when you paddle a canoe. To get started, just sign up for a trip with a kayaking outfitter. Many offer a range of outings, from several hours to several days. So don't plan a kayaking trip through the smaller lakes of the Boundary Waters.
