Paddle to the People
From the seat of a kayak you can do things landlubbers only imagine: glide through estuaries filled with hidden birdlife, take in views of mountain peaks from the middle of the Bay, sneak in a quiet morning workout on the lake, or just play around paddling with the kids. But getting the right kayak is essential. That's where the experts at REI Outdoor School come in. Whether you're a novice paddler seeking calm lakes and rivers, a long distance open water adventurer relying on stability in rough conditions, or a parent who wants an alternative to the Xbox, REI is your port of call. For the full scoop, check out REI.com's video, How to Choose a Kayak. Even better, get to an REI store and talk to an expert. Paddle powwow!
