Kayak Skiing - WaveWalking
 The New Paddlesports


What's kayak skiing?
It's paddling standing.  Some call it "Human Powered Water Skiing" and we call it WaveWalking if it's done at sea.   -You paddle on both sides of the boat or on one side.  Adults normally need a paddle that's longer than a regular kayak paddle.  
People have been paddling standing for thousands of years, but
Leonardo DaVinci was probably the first to think of special gear for Human Powered Water Skiing.  After him others followed

How easy is it?
Very easy when you do it in a W Kayak. 

How fast can I go?
If you're good you can go as fast as when you paddle seated

Can I kayak ski at sea?
Sure - You can even paddle ski in the surf after some practicing - We sometime call it 'WaveWalking'

Can I kayak ski in whitewater?
Yes, but you may want to practice on flat water first, then in fast streams, and so on - like you would progress in seated paddling

Can you kayak ski in tandem?
Yes - The W1 can take two lighweight passengers, and both may paddle ski

Do I need any bindings?
You don't need bindings, shoes or straps of any kind

Can children kayak ski?
It's easier for children to paddle ski - They seem to prefer Paddle skiing over seated paddling

Can I use a kayak skiing paddle for seated paddling?
Yes, since it's only 9 feet long.

Can I steer the boat while paddle skiing on one side?
Yes: It's similar to steering a canoe while paddling on one side

The future of kayak skiing
Kayak skiing will join popular outdoor sports that are practiced standing:  skiing, snow boarding, water skiing, surfing, board sailing etc.
Standup Paddle Surfing is the latest innovation in board surfing: http://standupzone.com/
