Whitewater kayaking

ive yaked a bunch of times and am piicking up a used whitewater one soon, any stuff i should know (if that makes any sence) that isnt common knowledge
 
wellllllll to begin

boat,paddle,PFD(lifejacket made for whitewater kayaking),skirt, HELMET, floatbags so your boat doesnt sink.... then a good pair of river booties, a top to stay warm.... and always bring your throwrope.
 
mo420 I whitewater kayak a ton! what kind of rivers do you paddle and what kind of boat(s) do you have? and where about do you live? reply via message or on here.
 
well im down to paddle any class 3-5 river.

currently i am paddleing a pyranha burn. i work up in old forge at mountain man outdoors, its a kayak shop.... i paddle the moose and whatnot up in the adks
 
I'm going to Harpers Ferry on the Potomac at around 3 pm till dusk today to do some park and play. message me if you're interested.
 
I Whitewater tube hahaa....... i work at Town Tinker Tube Rental in Phoenicia ny. We run the Esopus river, and on water release dates, shit gets prety wild. According to americanwitewater.org its class 3-4. Im so used to the river, when i tube i ride on my stomach and am able to ride the rapids kinda like those small playboat ride rapids. Every year they have white water races, and i love watching them, eventually i wanna buy a nice kayak but they are so expensive
 
yo, i live near DC and paddle the potomac everyday. i go out to WV almost every weekend if someone wants to hit me up. I'm down for anything 3-5 and i paddle a Remix 59, and a lot of other boats. PM me are respond to this thread if you are interested
 
I love to but I'm a noob. I'm really only comfortable up to class 3. I've got a liquidlogic POP playboat and a 11.5 old town for camping and fishing. I do the lehigh up here in the poconos on dam release weekends mostly. I might be down for some playspot action but you guys seem pretty far away. Where at on the potomac are you guys going. Far from Filthadelphia??
 
Hey can someone do me a favour and point in in the direction of some of the more popular whitewater kayaking magazines... if there is such a thing, thanks and cheers.
 
Rapid and Paddler are good.
Paddler: Cheaper, a lot more to read, but includes all kayaking such as rec. and touring, but still a good read
Rapid: Excellent photography, all WW kayaking, a little short, pricey.
Or get both! lol
