Paddling is the most intimate way to experience the oceans, lakes and rivers. There is something very primal about being close to the water and moving under your own power. There are many variations on paddling from canoes to kayaks, rowboats or competitive rowing sculls. Feel like some team spirit? Try a dragon boat.
You can enjoy paddling by silently gliding along the glassy surface of a lake, shoot river rapids or pound through the surf! The possibilities of where to paddle and what type of boat to use are endless. Enjoy paddling through our contributor stories then go out and have at it!
