Where can I learn the language 17 years 8 months ago #17343

Hi, new to the sport and was wondering if some kind of Kayaking dictionary exists???

I'd like to get to know what all the technical terminology and trick names means...

A link would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Alex.

Well, after searching around for a while i found this...
playak.com/modules.php?name=Encyclopedia...t_content&eid=10

That's a good start...

haha, that's a secret link you found there :)

it was an experimental service i once made, succeeded by the playak wiki, which itself needs some more work before i'll officially launch it again (too many spammers right now).
If you're happy, you're successful.

A good trick for other newbies like me, is to, when you go about this site, open a second PLAYAK page to this link and whenever there's a word you dont understand, just switch the the dictionary page to verify it and then continue reading with a better understanding of what's being talked about...

Hope this helps...

There's a useful and lighthearted explanation of many kayaking terms here Paddling Lexicon . Found it useful myself.

The best one not on the internet is the book called kayak by William Nealy. Its not only has a glossary it is the best river skills book on the market in my book
