How to get into kayaking?

Best thing is to contact the local clubs and tell them about your interest.I am sure they would offer you some support by way of equpment and the various forms of Kayaking available.Do you want 'white water/river' kayaking or perhaps 'Sea' kayaking appeals.Don't buy a kayak until you decide and then take advice on the most suitable.Do buy a buoyancy aid of the correct spec.for your size and weight.There are a large number of websites under the heading of 'kayak'.Good Luck.
