In kayaking, one of the most important skills that can get you through a lot of sticky situations is trust. For example, when we run rivers with our friends and/or family, we have to trust the skills of whoever is leading us down the river. If we don’t, then the whole time will be much less enjoyable than if we were to take their word that they’re leading us down a safe line. However, trust isn’t something that can only be applied to other people. Trusting yourself in paddling is one of the most important keys to being happy and confident on the water. By being confident in your skills and being able to try new tricks, learn new skills, etc., you’ll have so much more fun and develop skills better than if you’re scared to try things because you might mess up! On thursdays as well, trust can be really helpful when people show you new lines down the rapids or if you’re paddling a relay race on Wednesday. Overall, trust is one of the most important whitewater kayaking skills in order to stay safe and have a fun time in the river!
