Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. Kayaking is generally differentiated from canoeing by the fact that a kayak has a closed cockpit and a canoe has an open cockpit. However, there are many sit-on-top kayaks, and these boats are growing in popularity. They also use a two bladed paddle. Another major difference is in the way the paddler sits in the boat. Kayakers sit in a seat on the bottom of the boat with their legs extended out in front of them. Canoeists will either sit on an elevated bench seat or kneel directly on the bottom of the boat. Whitewater kayaking involves taking a kayak down rapids. Sea kayaking sometimes also referred to as Ocean Kayaking involves taking kayaks out on to the ocean or other open water ie a lake. Sea kayaking can involve short paddles with a return to the starting point or “put-in” or expeditions covering many miles and days.

THESE daredevil extreme kayakers paddled down the breathtaking 300ft spillway at one of Wales biggest reservoirs. The apparently fearless pair reached speeds of 45mph as they sped down the 1:3 gradient of the Llyn Brianne Reservoirs concrete overspill run. All they had for protection were their flimsy canoes just 1cm of plastic separated them from the fast-flowing water and their coloured helmets. The extraordinary pictures were taken by photographer James Davies as he passed the reservoir, around 12 miles from Llandovery. I just could not believe people would have the nerve to paddle to the top of the spillway then calmly shoot over and downwards towards a virtual sheer drop.
