White Water kayaking in Wales
Kevin Rushby
Rating ****
This Article by the Guardian is about one man's experience learning to white water kayak
The article starts with the author doing his first ferry across a rapid and rolling over. After this he debates whether or not doing the course was a good idea. He tries again and this time it goes better but he is still wobbly. His instructor gets him to try a bigger more stable kayak to see if it helps. He flips again but gradually he gets better. The next day they go back at it and Kevin has a smaller kayak. They work again all day and he is very good by the end. After his second day he states that white water kayaking is fun and a great sport to try.
The only major problem I have with this article is that at the beginning the author speaks negatively of his experience. I find that if you are writing about a new activity you can say a few bad thing but this author said he wanted to give up right away. Other then that I think its an entertaining article about one's journey through learning how to white water kayak.
I would recommend this article to people who white water because it may bring back some nostalgic memories of your first time ferrying some rapids.
