Sprint kayaks are best type of kayaks for people who are intending to race. While you will probably not need to have your own kayak when you first start out (if you are racing on a school team of some type), eventually you will probably want to get your own sprint kayak that will highlight your particular skills and make it easier for you to race.

Before learning how to paddle sprint kayaks, however, you'll need to be very experienced with other types of kayaks. The reason for this is that most sprint kayaks are designed to be very fast, which means that they are slender and designed to cut through water and minimize drag. The result is that some of these kayaks will even tip over when they are set in water with nobody inside. As you can imagine, keeping sprint kayaks upright requires quite a bit of skill.

There are two major types of wooden kayaks: those you buy, and those you make for yourself. A lot of people have found that they enjoy time spent working on their own wooden kayak. If you're one of those people, then you should definitely check online for how-to guides and other information about how to build your own kayak. If you're worried that you won't be able to find accurate information online, then you can check for books that have been written on subject.

There are a few things that you should consider about a home made kayak, as well. In fact, if you have time to build your own kayak, then there are plenty of great reasons to do so.

The first reason is simply cost. If you've been shopping around for high quality kayaks, you'll know that most of them are very expensive, especially if they are made out of fiberglass instead of just plastic. By building your own kayak, you'll be able to make one that you want - and you'll only have to pay for wood you use while you're building it.
