Kayak Rentals New Braunfels

 

Tubing remains the most popular spring and summer activity in New Braunfels, but there’s a lot more to do on its two beautiful rivers than hop on a tube. For example, kayak rentals.  Here’s some tips from Inflatable Kayak Reviews

 

The Guadalupe – usually a good kayaking destination

 

Kayaking isn’t all that common on the Comal, but on the Guadalupe, plenty of kayakers and canoers like to test themselves against the river’s rapid currents and impressive length. Tubing is less complicated and physically demanding than these activities, which is why it’s more widespread, but that doesn’t mean you should stop yourself from trying new things.

If you’re new to kayaking, you’ll probably want to pick a day when the Guadalupe’s flow is as steady as possible. The faster the river flows, the harder it will be to steer your floatation device. Having your kayak flip over is a lot more problematic than falling out of your tube, especially if your legs or hips were fastened to it, in which case it can become downright dangerous.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help

 

Some people like to hire kayaking instructors if they’re not feeling too confident in their steering aptitude. Kayak rentals New Braunfels can help you get in touch with someone who will teach you the basics, and they might even have such a person working for them – all you will have to do is ask.

With the recent flooding that New Braunfels’ rivers have experienced, all forms of floating on the river have become impossible until the flow rate normalizes. During times of moderate flooding, such as when the flow rate reaches a thousand cubic feet per second, only expert kayakers are advised to go on the river, which is why you should always look for a steady flow if you’re a first-timer.

If you don’t feel daring enough to try kayaking out when the river is stabilized, you can ask some friends or family to accompany you on your trip down the river. This way, you can keep up each other’s spirits and encourage one another, and you’ll also considerably reduce the danger associated with these devices flipping over. For maximum safety, make sure that one or more people in your group are good swimmers and divers so that they can easily assist someone who has fallen into the water.
