How about an adventurous outing..

[deep3102]

The vessel comes with 6 air bags ka?!

I have taken "Kayaking" as one of my electives in an American university and scored an "A" for it .. not easy le! need to learn rolling and it takes many practices to get it right.

Another drill that we do is we carry the kayak to the swimming pool spring board and allowing the kayak to plunge down from the board more than 10 feet above the pool water level to familiarise with vessel control..

It will be a dangerous outing if you have not mastered these skills, in fact its suicidal!

Update: Just seen the website u provided.. it's not solo.. still very risky!

Good luck!

Astro, each "airbag" comes with 2 guides, so we wont be on our own only. I dont think its suicidal la bro, not to that extent la, if not no one will be trying it out and having fun. The fact that there is such activities, means there are proper safety equipments and guide provided, and if not mistaken, there are stages. We go for beginer le..play in baby pool only...lol..
In that case, since u have the skills, I will stick to the vessel ur on lah...kikiki
