In France and other European and American countries, it has become a way of life to surf the water by yourself. Private boats, like cars, are arranged to park in fixed parking areas near the water, which is particularly spectacular. In China, kayaking fever has gradually warmed up from south to north, becoming a fashion. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, some outdoor enthusiasts in Beijing turn their attention to mountains and rivers. In particular, some families have taken the lead in buying kayaks, assault boats and motorboats, including weekend fitness and leisure vacations, and driving to the suburbs to get in touch with water.
? Compared with the popularity of buying assault boats and motorboats by families, kayaking has just entered the Beijing market, which belongs to the primary stage, but some families have bought it and put it on the roof of private cars, ready to play at any time when they go out to play. ? Song Yang, the head of Meitehao Company, which sells kayaks, said that kayaking is suitable for a wide range of people, ranging from teenagers to people in their fifties and sixties. He is full of confidence in the future. He explained that most rowing boats use sculls and pull them backwards at the same time, while rowing machines in gyms are mostly set according to the rowing method of rowing boats, while ordinary kayaks are different. Usually kayaking and single oar, suitable for rowing left and right.
Sonanjia, the owner of Tahiti Resort, has always liked outdoor sports. He has been fascinated by kayaking since he came into contact with it three years ago. He introduced that kayaking is called canoe in many countries. It is generally believed that kayaking is a very professional competitive sport. Actually, it is not. It is also a leisurely outdoor project, and ordinary people can also participate.
Inflatable kayaking (the current price is generally around 1,000 yuan) is easy to carry, but it is difficult to control the direction after getting started, and it has been spinning around for a long time. After practice, it is found that the control of the hull depends on the strength and direction of paddling. When you start, you will find it interesting. Different from rowing machines in other gyms, you can enjoy the feeling of being integrated with nature during exercise. Moreover, this exercise is very helpful to the waist, arms, shoulders and back, especially to exercise people's balance and coordination.
Matters needing attention
Players should be able to swim.
It is best to have received basic training; Don't play alone, it's safer to have company; Wear sunscreen products, swimsuits, swimming trunks, sun hats, life jackets and special helmets suitable for water activities, and bring change clothes. Paddle hitting water will splash clothes; Don't go to strange waters, because some waters seem shallow, but there may be undercurrents or eddies.
location
Houhai, Baihe, Beidaihe Gold Coast, Laoting and Suizhong
There is a club in Beijing Jinfan Houhai Water Sports Center that can teach kayaking, which can be verified in Hong Kong.
In the usual boating area, Sonanjia recommended Houhai and Baihe. Song Yang believes that in terms of rivers, some families will go to Dushi or other suburban areas where there are small rivers, and when they see the right waters, they will enjoy them. However, it is difficult to make specific recommendations, because some waters in Beijing are regulated and there are uncertainties. So most people choose to go to the seaside, such as Beidaihe Gold Coast, Laoting and Suizhong.
experience
The angle of the paddle is very important.
Many beginners will choose to row in still water.
Grab the paddle: It is very important to grab the paddle correctly and adjust the angle of the paddle so that the angle is close to 90 degrees. For beginners or when the wind is very light, just choose an angle that suits your personal habits.
Paddling: Hold the paddle when paddling, and turn the waist to drive the arm to exert force when paddling. Don't swing up and down, try to keep the center of gravity stable. People should relax their sitting posture and starting posture when holding paddles in the boat, and stretch their shoulders forward as far as possible, and don't push too hard. Some people are too nervous to relax their upper limbs, and it won't take long for their muscles to ache. In addition to the long-term muscle tension, it also includes his wrong force. Many people mistakenly think that he relies on his arms to exert his strength. For example, the direction of paddling is too close to the hull, the posture or angle of exertion is wrong, and the body cannot stretch. Relying on the arm can easily cause sports injuries caused by muscle strain. It is recommended to pull the paddle with straight arm and waist strength.

Hard Boat Going to Sea and Soft Boat Leisure
According to Sonanjia, the owner of Tahiti Resort, kayaking is mainly divided into hard boats and soft boats. Generally, the stern of a hard ship has a rudder, which is relatively fast and suitable for playing at sea, but it is not easy to carry. Soft boats are inflatable and suitable for whitewater or leisure use. However, it is easy to be cut when encountering relatively complex terrain.
If you use it at home, you will choose family kayaking, for example, rowing in still water such as reservoirs, or some friends will row to go fishing in water parks, combining sports with leisure.
So you can choose kayaking and sports at ordinary times, and going out with a few friends at weekends is meaningless.
