Canoeing and Kayaking

The Cornwall coast is an excellent area for canoeing with its amazing scenery being an added bonus. Coastal canoeing is not to be taken lightly as it requires considerable skill to manoeuvre the tricky coast. Canoe trips can be made at many places in and around Cornwall including the Fowey, Tamar and Camel Rivers. Fast turning kayak, straight running kayak and open canoe are the three main types of kayaks or canoes with each of them having their own advantages and disadvantages. Clothing must be selected appropriately while going for kayaking and the use of safety clothing is also a must.

Sailing

Some of the best locations and conditions for sailing in UK can be found in Cornwall. The north coast can give quite a challenge while the south is easier to handle. Teaching centres for beginners can be found in quite a few places here. There is a misconception that sailing is only for the rich and sophisticated, but in recent years the arrival of more affordable and cheap dinghies has opened the sport to many other people.

Jet Skiing

Another popular water sport found in Cornwall is jet skiing which is usually performed on large stretches of open sea where people can race around and experience the adrenaline pumping action giving them a sense of fulfilment which few other things can. With jet skiing you can race around the sea like you do with motor bikes on land and if you are experienced, the chances of getting involved in an accident is slim.
