Kayaking

December 25, 2007

Kayaking is one of the most popular extreme sports that we come across in the world. It involves using a kayak to move across a stream of water. Kayaking is very similar to Canoeing.

The only difference is that in a kayak, there is a closed cockpit and in the case of a canoe, the cockpit is open. Also, in kayaking, two bladed paddles are used and in canoeing, only a single bladed paddle is used.

Another difference is the way the kayakers sit in the seat. Kayakers sit on the bottom of the boat and they extend their legs out in front of them. Canoeists will sit on an elevated bench instead.
There are many kinds of Kayaking.

The most popular ones are Whitewater kayaking and Sea kayaking . Whitewater kayaking means taking a kayak down rapid moving streams of water like rivers. Sea kayaking involves taking kayaks out to open waters such as oceans or lakes.

Sea kayaking is also called Ocean kayaking. When people go for Sea kayaking, they need to cover a lot of miles a day and it goes on for several days. The popularity of kayaking has increased greatly since the 1990s and in the 21st century.
Kayaks can be classified into different types based on their use.

There are primarily five kinds of kayaks - whitewater, surf, touring/expedition, light touring/day tripping and general recreation.

 There are also certain sub-classes that come below these classifications. A typical example is the fishing kayak is a kayak which is used for general recreation and which consists of features which make fishing easier.

Also, there are several levels of performance among these classifications which enable us to further differentiate the individual models of kayaks. The kayaks can also be classified based on their configurations.

 There are two kinds - “sit on tops” and “cockpit style”.

In the first case, the kayakers sit on top of the kayak in an open area. In the latter, the kayakers sit with the legs and hips inside the kayak. Both configurations are used in the five general classifications of kayaks. Some of the kayaks include even a triple cockpit boats.

December 23, 2007

What do you think about storm chasing? It sounds weird if we call it as one of the sport activities but someone did do it and enjoyed it a lot. First of all, what is storm chaser really done? The objective is to track down and record the storm happen lively. One of the biggest objective for many chasers are witnessing a tornado. Besides that, they also do chase the thunderstorms, watching the lightning, seeing the cumulonimbus structure and some of them also chase the hurricanes.

Storm chasing is considered as one of the recreational endeavor. It focus toward the photographing the storm for personal reasons or scientific work. A few groups of people manage to sell the storm video and pictures. Besides that they also manage to schedule the ‘chase tour’ services. It’s a good income for those who have the interest in chasing the storm. And as you know, there is no degree or certification is needed to be a storm chaser. Everyone can be a storm chaser.

What do you need to bring along while chasing the storm? Most common device needed is basic photographic equipment. And for the experts, they normally used satellite based tracking systems and all live data will be feed to the vehicle mounted weather stations. As for starter, it is recommended to use camera or video camera to record the storm and from that, we can still improve our skills and knowledge on how to get the best images or data. This will help you to improve your skills and knowledge in the same time.

As we know, the storm activities are most active in May and June across the Great Plains of the United States. During that day, a couple hundred individuals are active. Besides US, some people also make their efforts in southeast Australia which the biggest success is from November until December. Some report also shows that they had chased the storm in other countries including Israel, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland and New Zealand. Many people prefer to track down the storm at Great Plains of North America especially United Kingdom.

Nowadays many people enjoy being a storm chaser. Even though it is dangerous but we can see how powerful the nature is. Maybe someone will be planning to get involve with this activity soon and make profit from it. Happy chasing!
