Kayak Kid

I recently participated in an annual charity activity that involves a day playing on boats and in the water. I took several photos of kids practicing their boating skills.  There were all number of watercraft there and lots and lots of kids learning how to use them in a very well supervised atmosphere. This fellow was awesome on a kayak at a very young age and I was very impressed with his skill.

Takes a lot of skill to move when your paddle has both blades in the same plane, too.

Love this shot, Mary!

Look at his concentration on cause-effect, Mary. It does make you wonder what he'll be doing 10 years from now!
He looks like he knows what he is doing. Nice one

A cute Boat Friday photo Mary... and I just saw your shot of your Petunia & Pansy girls... so sweet in the grass. (I can hardly wait for our first grandchild as my daughter-in-law is 6 months along.)

Love the way you have frozen that splash of water Mary.
nice shot, he is concentrated enough

Good shot Mary, it is the water pouring off the oar that catches my eye, very good.
Nicely captured, it looks like fun.

Yes, just see how easily he changes direction. Great shot and a great way to keep busy - helping kids to become water wise.
A true water baby then Mary

Looks like he is having great fun, a study in concentration!
The only time I've done any kayaking - many years ago, I was almost run down by a ferry smile Looks as he may be a bit more competent.
