TOURNAMENT WIRE: World Title Two-Fer
Right out of boxing, kayak fishing is about to have a split world title.
One for Hobie riders, another for fans of the twin-bladed paddle.
Let the (good natured) disputing begin! Hot on the heels of the Daiwa-Hobie World Kayak Fishing Tournament contested last week in Australia, New Zealand is throwing its own party. Everyone's invited to the Ocean Kayak, Kayak Fishing World Cup . As part of the 2012 Beach and Boat Competition, paddle-powered anglers will battle it out on the north coast of New Zealand February 24-25, 2012.
The sport has gone from no putative world championships to two in a flash, both hosted in the southern hemisphere. These are very different titles. The recently completed Australia event was by invitation only for international competitors, and open solely to Hobie kayaks, although future events may offer additional qualifying paths. The championship claim? Founded on bream.

Hawaii Ocean Kayak Tours for Dummies
Have You Ever Tried an Ocean Kayaking Tour?
What could better than slipping soundlessly through clear, sparkling Hawaiian waters, skimming over the open Pacific accompanied by dolphins and sea turtles? Imagine passing close to a humpback whale and her calf as they winter in warm Maui waters. Taking an ocean kayaking tour is the perfect way to experience this wonderful aspect of Hawaiian island life in a way that’s not only completely harmonious with the surroundings, but also gives you an intensely personal connection with the ocean and all its wonders.
Kayaking Basics
Sea kayaking trips range from a few hours to a many weeks. Developed for the active sport of paddling on lakes, bays and the open ocean, most ocean kayaks are made for one or two paddlers. Size and configuration of the kayak are determined by the type of trip you want to make; for example, specialized kayaks such as surf skis are narrower than the typical open-water ocean kayak. Some may have upturned bows, providing better performance into ocean waves and better wave-shedding properties. The length of the ocean kayak affects both its cargo capacity and the ease of staying in a straight line in the water–its “tracking” ability. Very long ocean kayaks are easier to paddle straight, but are harder to turn and maneuver, so they are used mainly for long, open-water trips. The width of the ocean kayak also affects the cargo capacity, the size of the cockpit and overall stability.
