When you consider kayaking, you probably think of a relaxing journey through calm and tranquil waters aboard a small canoe-like boat. This is what kayaking is all about for the most part, but for those looking for challenging and excitement, there is ocean kayaking. By and large, ocean kayaking is occasionally reminiscent of white water rafting. Not in regards to equipment, but speed and level of activity. Consequently, ocean kayaking is normally left to people who are very skillful in the water.
