What is "whitewater kayaking"?
Whitewater kayaking is a type of kayaking where a person navigates a kayak through fast-moving, rough water, such as rivers with rapids, waves, and obstacles like rocks. The kayaker uses a double-bladed paddle to steer and control the kayak, avoiding hazards and trying to maintain balance while moving quickly through the water. Whitewater kayaking can be an exciting and challenging sport, requiring skill, strength, and quick reflexes. It is often done on rivers with varying levels of difficulty, from mild to extreme, depending on the speed and roughness of the water.
