Chile Extreme Whitewater Kayaking
Leaving A Whitewater Kayak Paddle Behind Is Dangerous by John Mailer
Your time on the whitewater adventure of your life will be significantly better if you remember to bring your whitewater kayak paddle. This is a mistake I have made before as I set out on the raging waters without a paddle and without a life jacket. Errors like this could have cost me my life, but luckily my fellow rafters had brought ample kayak paddles and life jackets with them. We were able to embark on a fun and exciting adventure on white water. The lesson learned was, of course, that being prepared is the key component to planning a perfect adventure vacation.
Of course, not all adventures can go this smoothly. I'm sure there are many instances where people have noy brought their whitewater kayak paddle or their life jacket and have not had the good fortune of such wonderful friends to lend them the necessary equipment. Being, literally, up the creek without a paddle can be a daunting experience as you have effectively removed control of the water from your own power.
It is now up to the water, the waves, and the sheer force of nature to carry your adventure through to a safe landing on the shore. In the case of whitewater rafting, however, this isn't usually a gamble many want to take; whitewater rafting can be vicious and brutal.
Adventurous Captivity
There are some that are, as many in the industry call it, captivated by adventure. These people are likely to let the waves carry them and will deliberately start their rapids trip without a whitewater kayak paddle. This is not recommended as it leaves them in the hands of nature and the clutches of the vicious white water as it rages forth carrying the small raft into certain oblivion.
Although this type of adventure is frowned upon, year after year many people embark on a similar type of adventure without a whitewater kayak paddle and, worse yet, without a proper life jacket.
Imagine being captured by an enormous wave and being tossed around like a cork in the raging waters, flipping and spinning about with no control over the direction your body is headed. This type of helplessness could have been entirely prevented with the proper use of a whitewater kayak paddle and some basic safety equipment.
Do not be captivated by adventure to the point that you lose sight of logic and common sense; take the proper equipment with you when you go whitewater rafting.
John Mailer has written articles on the extreme sport of whitewater rafting offering whitewater rafting trip ideas. He has also written articles on how to begin snowboarding

Frequently Asked Questions...
What length whitewater kayak paddle should I buy?
I am 5' 10" and am paddling a Jackson Fun. I was thinking maybe 194 or 196 cm...but I'm not sure. I'm still growing, so would it be good to buy a larger paddle?
Answer:
Either one should work ok for you. In his books, pro paddler Ken Whiting recommends a 194-198 for someone 5'8" to 6', and 198-204 for someone 6' to 6'4". That tends to be slightly longer than what I see people typically use. At 6'3", I use a 197 cm and like it.
Length will partly depend on whether you tend to take more vertical strokes (shorter paddle) or horizontal strokes (longer). Sitting in your boat, put the paddle in the water as if you're taking a stroke. If you have to lean way forward or to the side to submerge the paddle blade in the water, then the paddle is too short. With the lower blade submerged, check to see how high your top hand is. If it's above your forehead, the paddle's probably too long. Try this with vertical strokes such as draws in addition to the forward stroke.
The difference between a 194 and 196 is only 1 cm on each side. Differences in blade size and shape, shaft diameter, and feather angle will likely make a bigger difference in the overall feel of the paddle than that 1 cm.
