二，Izinhlobo ze-Kayak

Ama-kayak "Hlala phezulu" abeka abagwedli edekhini elivulekile, elinezimbobo ngaphezu kwamanzi. Lesi sitayela sivame ukusetshenziselwa imisebenzi engeyona eye-whitewater, njengoba abantu abaningi bekuthola kunzima ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwe-kayak, kuyilapho futhi kuvimbela i-kayak ukuthi "igingqike", okuvumela umsebenzisi ukuthi ame aqonde uma egingqika. Ukuhlala phezulu kunezinzuzo ezithile, njengokukwazi "ukomisa i-hatch," indawo evame ukugijima ubude be-kayak lapho, ngaphezu kokunikeza ukuntanta okwengeziwe, abagibeli be-kayak bangagcina imishini ehlukahlukene. Ama-"kayak" ahlezi phezulu avame ukusebenzisa "ngokusebenzisa imigodi", okuvumela wonke amanzi angena esikebheni ukuthi aphume edekhini futhi ome. "Isitayela se-cockpit" noma "isiketi sokufafaza" senza isivalo esingangeni manzi okhalweni. Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zezikebhe "ze-cockpit" ezivame ukuvumela umsebenzisi ukulawula okwengeziwe phezu kwesikebhe ngenxa yamandla azo okusunduza ezindongeni ukuze zigobe ukuze ziqedele ukuhamba. Uhlobo oluvamile lwama-kayak “esitayela se-cockpit” “izikebhe zokuhamba ngesikebhe”, ngokuvamile ama-kayak amafushane kakhulu lapho umsebenzisi angenza khona amaqhinga kanye nokuqondisa: “ama-inflatable” ayinhlanganisela yezindlela ezimbili zokuqala. Lezi zikebhe zinedekhi evulekile, kodwa abagwedli bahlala ngaphansi kwedekhi. Lezi zikebhe zivame ukungazinzile ngenxa yesikhundla sazo esiphakeme emanzini. Zivame ukusetshenziswa endaweni yokuhweba kakhulu futhi zivame ukubizwa ngothando ngokuthi “ama-Duckies.” “I-tandem” iyahluka nomklamo ohlukile wama-kayak amaningi, alungiselelwe abagwedli abaningi. Ama-tandem angasetshenziswa ngabagwedli ababili noma abathathu.

三，Imishini ehlobene ne-kayaking

Kunezinhlobo eziningana zama-kayak asetshenziswa emanzini ayisicaba kanye nasemanzini amhlophe. Usayizi kanye nesimo kuzohluka kakhulu kuye ngohlobo lwamanzi agwedlwayo kanye nokuzimisela komgwedli. Isethi yesibili yezinto ezibalulekile zokugibela i-kayak yi-offset paddle, lapho i-paddle blade igobile khona ukuze kusizwe ukunciphisa ukumelana nomoya kanti enye i-blade isetshenziswa uma isemanzini. Ziyahlukahluka nangobude kanye nesimo, kuye ngokuthi kusetshenziswe ini, ukuphakama komgwedli kanye nokukhetha komgwedli. I-kayak kufanele ifakwe izinsiza zokufutha eyodwa noma ngaphezulu (ezaziwa nangokuthi i-flotation) ukuze kudalwe isikhala somoya ukuvimbela i-kayak ukuthi ingacwili lapho igcwele amanzi. Ijazi lokuphila (elaziwa nangokuthi idivayisi yokuflotha yomuntu siqu noma i-PFD) kanye nesigqoko kufanele kugqokwe ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ama-kayak amaningi avame ukudinga ukuskiya emanzini, njengoba kunjalo ngama-kayak amhlophe. Eminye imishini yokuphepha ehlukahlukene ifaka: ikhwela ukubonisa ukucindezeleka; intambo yokuphonsa ukusiza ukusindisa abanye abagibeli be-kayak; ummese wokuntywila kanye nezicathulo zamanzi ezifanele kufanele zisetshenziswe kuye ngengozi ebangelwa amanzi kanye nendawo. Izingubo ezifanele, njengesudi eyomile, i-wetsuit, noma i-spray suit, zingasiza ekuvikeleni abagibeli be-kayak emakhazeni noma emoyeni.
