Kayaking, Canoraft- Kayaking on rivers

KAYAKING ON RIVERS DESCRIPTION

The canoraft or river kayaking involves descending a river, in this case, on Genil River, evading different river’s strainers by paddling.

This river has various sections; from the wildest ones, demanded by the most experienced kayakers, following the middle section and finally the calmest. The activity is done in a two-seater inflatable kayak, with a specialized instructor who will accompany you in a separate boat. Throughout the route there are different rapids and waves you must evade in coordination with your partner. Cooperation will be essential to avoid the obstacles of the river.

Before starting, the kayak instructor will give some basic notions about the course of the activity in order to ensure the descent in kayak will be carried out safely.

The approximate duration of the Canoraft, Rafting duo, Kayaking or canoeing on Genil River is about half a day. The whole activity lasts approximately 3 hours, with the descent taking approximately 2 hours at the medium level and 1.5 hours at the lower level.

ABOUT KAYAKING ON RIVERS

River kayaking is an exciting activity, which consists of paddling in a kayak and going over the obstacles called “rapids” or “strainers” that are formed in the rivers. Since it’s a risky sport, we recommend starting in class I rivers, adapting yourself to the equipment and increasing the danger little by little. Also, you should never go down the river alone, but always with an instructor nearby. You must know to swim and have a contingency plan in case of an emergency.

THIS EXPERIENCE IS A MUST!

Kayaking is about surfing, confronting nature, rough currents, waves, and making decisions on the fly. Contrary to other sporting disciplines, the conditions are not entirely under your control, as they are constantly changing: this is a new and therefore unfamiliar environment.

Challenge yourself and trust in your own strength and abilities. These are the moments when your endurance is put to the test.
