How to be calm when kayaking 

  By Sam Sharp 

     The best way to be calm while kayaking is to be confident in what you are doing. When you are confident you feel so much better on the water and you are also a lot less likely to get hurt. But sometimes it is hard to feel confident on the water if you have never done that river or rapid before. I feel the best way to overcome this is to trust your paddling ability if you feel like you are ready for that river or rapid then you should 100 percent do it. But if you feel like you are not and don’t think you could nail your line you most probably should wait until you are ready. It also help to kayak with people you feel comfortable with and know that they can help you if you are in need. Being calm on a river is the best way to succeed and be a good kayaker. These are the best ways I know to be calm on a river.
