Kayaking Gifts for Christmas
Finding good Christmas gifts ideas is easy if you think about a
persons hobbies. If you are buying for person who enjoys
kayaking, here are a few ideas for kayaking gifts.
Kayaking Gifts
Kayaking is a sport that appears to require relatively small
amounts of equipment. In truth, it is much more than a paddle
and a kayak, which provides you with a lot of potential gift
ideas.
1. Drip Rings - Drip rings are placed on each end of a paddle
and keep water from running back up the paddle to your hands.
While this may sound odd given that you're sitting in water, it
is incredibly annoying to have water running over your hands all
of the times. Drip rings stop this, which makes them very
useful. They are also incredibly cheap, costing no more than a
few bucks. Aqua-Bound is as good a brand as any.
2. Alaska Sea Kayaking Adventures - If you're looking for a big
ticket item, why not give an Alaska Sea Kayaking trip as a gift?
A number of companies in Alaska provide sea kayaking tours in
Prince William Sound and other locations. There is nothing more
impressive than paddling up to one of the glaciers overhanging
the sea. The pure beauty will leave you astonished. The cost of
trips varies, but most of the expense is getting to Alaska. Do
an Internet search for "alaska kayaking" and you'll find the
providers.
3. Back Bands - Sitting in a kayak for a few hours is not easy
on the lower back. Back bands are devices that fit into the seat
area
and provide lower back support similar to those you find
for car seats. Back bands are a must for long crossings. A back
band of good quality will set you back between $30 and $40.
SealLine and Ocean Kayak are good brands.
4. Underdeck Bags - Underdeck bags act like a little glove
compartment for kayaks. Watertight, they attach to the roof of
the interior space on kayaks and act like a glove compartment in
a car. Makes storing valuable such as car keys, maps and
journals a breeze. North Water makes excellent underdeck bags
and you can expect to pay roughly $40 for one.
5. Nomad Paddle Sports Journals - A bit of self-promotion here.
Nomad Paddle Sports Journals are waterproof writing journals
that let kayakers keep notes during and after their trips.
Really great for writing down impressions, routes taken, things
seen, people met, alternative routes to be tried in the future
and so on. You can click the link at the bottom of this article
to see the paddle sports journals which cost $8.99.
Whether shooting the rapids of a river or cruising scenic bays,
kayaking is a great sport. If you're buying gifts for a kayaking
enthusiast, the above list is a good place to start.
