There are a lot of things that one might choose to do on the water. Other than swimming, you can choose to do some racing. In case you are interested in a kayak with orcas, then here is a list of things you could do to have some good time. The list has steps to help you get ready before the main activity.

You are supposed to get some lesson. If you are doing this for the first time, then you need to get some lesson. Talk to your peers who have been doing this for some time so that they share with you wonderful ideas. It is important that you also ask them to show you some tricks so that you ride on the water like a pro. If you go there without enough knowledge, you will risk your life.

You should dress for the water rather than the weather. The weather might be cold, but that does not mean a thing if you are on the water. You need to ensure that you wear comfortable clothes that let your body parts to move freely. If you put on heavy clothes, you might have a hard time rescuing yourself and others in case of a risk.

For instance, if you are going to race against your friends, you will need to choose a light, nimble boat, which is also stable. If it's a speed boat that you want, make sure that it is serviced before you leave.

Make sure to wear a buoyancy aid at all times while on the water. Anything can happen, and you will find yourself in the water, screaming for help. Fortunately, you will not have to scream your vocals out if you have your buoyancy aid on. This kit will keep you afloat, and you will be able to get out of the water even if there is no one around to offer some help.

Sit well on the boat and make sure you are comfortable. Most people think that this is an obvious point, but it is essential. If you are not comfortable in the boat, you will not have as much fun. Also, your boat should be balanced for it to hit the highest speed without flipping over.

Hold your paddle in the right way. It is essential that you know how to hold your paddle. Though this might sound obvious, most people hold their paddle the wrong way when kayaking for the first time. The amount of force at which you row your boat, and the overall sped depends on the positioning of your hands.

You must know how to rescue yourself and others. If anything happens and you find yourselves in the water, you should know how to rescue your friends. It is imperative that you save the boat for the last in case you have some colleagues to rescue. This means that you need to carry some first-aid kits as well.
