- There are many health, physical, mental, and emotional benefits of kayaking and I wanted to share the 10 benefits of kayaking I have experienced during my time as a paddler.
As a relatively new kayaker, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started kayaking (with my Tucktec Folding Kayak) but I loved the sport from the first day I tried it. I feel there are tremendous benefits of kayaking and I thought it was going to be all physical benefits from kayaking. What I didn't expect were the mental and emotional benefits of kayaking. Hope you enjoy this video!
The kayaks used in this video are the Tucktec Folding Kayak and the Pakayak Bluefin 142.

I agree 100% with everything you said. Kayaking had been a lifelong dream that I only recently found the ability to engage in. I regret not starting in my youth, but I have brought my children into it and hope they find all the joy you mentioned, I know I have. Kudos on another excellent video, this one not only has great camera work but it touched my heart!
Like people say, it's never too late and some people don't even start. It's even better your children had the chance to start early :) I always wanted to kayak too but always didn't have the space to store them. It's only because of the folding or modular kayaks that it gave me the opportunity to try this activity, which I knew I would fall in love with. I'm also sure there are another 1,000 benefits of kayaking but these are just a few :)
It's nice for you to spell out in words so clearly and descriptively.👏
Since your mentioning of Vitamin D, may I also add Calcium. Not just essential to growing up, it's also getting noticed for adults and growing old, due to raising alarms of Osteoporosis in recent years. I just learned of it less than a year ago -- no matter how much calcium intake one had such as milky products, our bodies could not absorb it without exposing to the Sun, and which were much more often during COVID-19 pandemic).😷
In English, pastimes were often called as "killing times", so I guessed, less time for over-eating, phone-gaming, drinking, horse-racing or Mahjong, etc.🤪
It's resonating for you to take note of Social Benefits as now less human contact within cities as well as not talking to one another often within a family or a couple in the Digital age.🤨
Very nicely put! The list and the images just make one feel like taking one's kayak - or whatever other kind of boat -, or buying one, and going to the water.
That's exactly it.. just to be on the water is all I need
I agree Chad and would add, balancing. When walking, riding a bike or kayaking, you're balancing. It's subconscious to the point that you're unaware of doing it. But you're using muscles subtly that add to your fitness. Then also, if you're someone that likes hauling junk, you'll love kayaking. In hiking and cycling, you're limited to how much junk you can carry. But you can easily take all the things in a kayak to make the day a pleasant one. Great video.
That’s such a good one that I didn’t even consider and I completely agree with you! I think for me it was something that I took for granted. Great one!
Excellent ten points, especially reducing stress! I wish I had started kayaking at your age, not wait till I retired 😃
Thanks Hong! The great thing is, it's never too late to start anything! You're doing amazing things now!
Right on...I couldn't agree more to the awesome big 10. I think it's one of the most beneficial passive recreational activities that one can do. It puts us in the natural environment and connects us with life.... SUPER VIDEO...THANKS
The places you paddle are awesome.. It's nature at its best. It's even better when the water is clear like the rivers you paddle in
You forgot something: kayaking gives you much video material, and you then have a blast editing awesome videos for us. :)
haha that's a good one! I enjoy editing videos but sometimes I get really lazy.. also sometimes I just want to paddle without recording to I can have a more relaxed trip. It's a good balance though
Hi and thanks, Fishaholicboy for sharing. Every kayaking trip is different in weather, winds, currents, tides, and so on. My passion is wildlife encounters in which I never see the same sea creatures in the same spots. The hardest part is deciding "No Go" for safety measures even if I am anxious to kayak. Well said, Fishaholicboy!!! 🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
That's a good point! One of the benefits is definitely seeing wildlife.. unfortunately I don't get to see much over here but I can imagine you get the chance to see some gorgeous wildlife over there!
Love the wildlife. In the past month I have seen Gannets, cormorants, razor bills, sandmartins , seals, sunfish, countless lionsmane jellyfish & dolphins
@@davidpoots8362 So jealous you get to see such great wildlife! Must be amazing each time you get out!
@@davidpoots8362 Fishaholicboy is kayaking in the wrong sea🤣I shall visit your channel.🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
All true! Great job.
Thanks! So many others have been listed by others too :)
Awesome video! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you! Hope it resonated with you
Excellent video !
Thanks! If anyone is thinking about kayaking.. please share this video :)
Great video. You hit them all my friend. My favourites out of your Top 10, one is distressing. There's something about being on a clam lake that just relaxes you. The other is connecting with nature. Where I go I get to see some wildlife, beavers which by the way are a lot bigger than I thought. I see deer and their babies, muskrats and just yesterday I saw a beautiful white swans on the water and watched it skim along the water with such grace. These birds are huge!!. It was obviously it was full grown and from what I read it was around 1.5 meters (59 inch) in length and up to 15kg (33 lbs) in weight. These are the 2 from you list of Top 10 benefits I experience most. Thanks for sharing and happy kayaking. 😀🚣♂🚣♂
Those two points you mentioned is exactly what my wife said when she first tried kayaking for the first time. She said she now understood why I kept going out to kayak. It's amazing you get to see awesome wildlife.. I wish I could see more of what you see over here!
Fully agree! And very nice footage. Amazing that Hong Kong has so many islands to explore.
Thanks.. really appreciate it. It's only after I started kayaking that I knew HK has more than 250 islands! So much to explore.
Thanks for sharing, my friend. I can totally relate to these benefits, they apply to standup paddling as well 😄🤝
Hi! Very good point.. definitely applies to SUP as well. Hope you’re doing well these days
Good video with really good points on why kayaking can be so beneficial. And beautiful views in the meantime :) Thanks for a great summary!
Thanks! I’m sure you can add plenty to the list :)
@@Fishaholicboy "Finally getting away from all the polar bears on all the streets in the city". 😉
Nice job !
Thanks!
Your roll on the playboat (or river kayak) is fantastic
hehe thanks.. I can only do that one roll so I have been practice it alot. I think I will practice it on the other side to get some muscle memory
Well said.
Appreciate it.. I'm sure there's so many more benefits but these were the key ones I thought of
Totally agreed
Thanks! Gear to hear you agree!
Great. Where is that fabulous place?
Thanks for watching. The footage were all taken in Hong Kong!
