The Foggy Bottom canoe is a recreational activity offered to tourists or locals that are interested in trying kayaking. The location has a beautiful river where people can take their pictures while exploring and have a picnic while looking at the gorgeous scenery.

Apart from being mesmerized by the gorgeous place and its history, the activity too has quite of a background before becoming an established form of sport. Started in some areas of Europe comprises of having a single blade paddle used to paddle the boat. From way back before, it was distinguished as a classical way of transportation, and modernized as an official transit in the 19th century.

As time goes, organizations devised an idea in promoting the activity around the world, and what better way to promote than being one of the competitions in the Olympics, having its first appearance in 1936. The result, the activity grabbed the attention of some of the tourist departments in some nations and started acquiring the materials needed to gain an advantage in regards to tourism. This sport is more exciting than one can anticipate, particular to rapid current rivers.

But, for those who are on a vacation with their kids, calm rivers is more advisable experience in order for them to enjoy the natural view. Quality service is also an essential part of the trip, especially when it is the first time experience of a tourist to do open canoe. There are set of rules and guidelines to learn before paddling onto the waters.

While for the professionals that want their blood rushing through their veins, specifically, those that join in competitions like sprint canoe prefer faster current rivers. The positioning of sprint canoers are very different compared to an average rider, they are in a kneeling position on the kayak, and their canoes are often smaller because the key factor for having speed is to have less water contact on the boat. The reason why canoes have various sizes depending on its utilization.

There are kayaks that measure 33 inches, narrow enough to be fast and more efficient in terms of paddling, this is what sprint canoers use. However, this model has a poor initial stability, making it difficult to balance on the first try. The first timer might have a hard time balancing themselves on this one.

While medium sizes having 34 to 37 inches measurement has a good combination of stability and capacity. Two people can ride in this type of size, and easy to paddle single or double. But, it is below the narrow sized kayak regarding speed and second in terms of initial stability compared to the final one.

The wide sized models measuring 38 inches attains a higher initial stability than the previous two. This is preferable for fishing and photography activities, as it goes last in terms of speed, having poor glide, a lot of contact with water and difficult to paddle alone. It may seem like a simple hobby, apparently, there is much more to it than just considering it as a form of recreational exercise because it is would not be a sport if there is no impelling event to experience.
