DISCOVER! | JULY 23, 2016 Sights of Summer | 7 Kayaking Kayaking across Okoboji Summer Sights of Erin Radke On an early Saturday morning with the sun peeking over the trees on East Lake Okoboji, I often look out from my deck and see kayaks gently coasting across the water past my home. I have never kayaked, but I’ve always imagined it being a relaxing experience. On a typical morning in Okoboji, before the hustle and bustle of boats, the waves are calm and the shore is peaceful. In those moments I feel that kayaking would be the perfect activity to spend time on the lake. This past week I met Jeremy Snow, a water sports expert from Okoboji Boat Works on West Okoboji Lake. With his help I was finally going to learn how to kayak, something I’ve wanted to try my whole life. With the morning weather at a perfect 70 degrees and no trace of clouds, the water looked more beautiful than ever. A kayak is a low-to-the-water boat that requires balance, sitting face forward and your legs in front parallel to one another. Jeremy showed me that by using a double-bladed paddle I would pull front-to-back through the water rotating each side of my body to keep my path even. If I wanted to turn, I would continue my rotating motion but would only place my paddle in the water on the side I wanted to travel to. As we began our journey from West Lake to East Lake, I noticed that the direction of the wind played a huge factor in the difficulty of our trip. If I paddled against the wind, I had to work extra hard to move forward. With each passing wave Jeremy taught me to paddle between the peaks rather than through them. If the wind was against my back I had the opportunity to relax and coast in the direction that the waves would take me. Although I was nervous about the traffic of boats passing by, I quickly learned how to continue on my path safely while staying an appropriate distance away. Because of the beautiful weather, it seemed that everyone was in a chipper mood that morning. Passing through various bridges and marinas I shared a “good morning” with several happy Okoboji residents and visitors. What I enjoyed most about kayaking was not only the relaxing experience of coasting across the water, but the feeling of light exercise as my shoulders continued to rotate and work through the waves. By the end of the morning I was already a little sore but I wasn’t complaining. Sometimes the simplest activities on the lake can make you feel like you gave your body the brisk workout it deserves while still having a great time. Unlike most water sports, kayaking is an activity that has no age limit. It’s leisurely entertaining and needs minimal effort in order to have fun. As I continue on to my next “Sights of Summer,” I hope to kayak again in the near future.
