The Boat is Key
When you are kayaking the most valuable object is your boat. You want it to be an extension of you, and it has to be perfect. On the first day everyone is getting your outfitted to them, trying to get it perfect. When I getting outfitted in the small boat it felt fine boat I was small in it. I added foam and padding, but all of that only helped so much. It was still not perfect. I thought I just had to get used to the boat, but it was much more. I struggled to throw my weight around in the boat and lost confidence. It just wanted to have fun, but I was too uncomfortable. I spoke to the counselor and they understood, the next day they helped. I got a new boat and was off, it fit me perfectly, and I was confident again. Always make sure your boat fits the way you want it, and you can always ask people for help.
