Default Whitewater or Calm Water?

Which do you prefer when you go kayaking, whitewater or calm water?

My first experience for kayaking was with a whitewater river. It was really fun and made 2 trips that day because the distance of the whitewater rapids was short.

Definitely white waters for me. Actually I love both but nothing gets me excited like those rapids. What equipment did you use, some inflatable kayak perhaps?

Both of them are amazing experiences. It depends on what kind of mood I am in whether I go for excitement or relaxation for the day.

I am a huge fan of whitewater, but never in a kayak only in a raft. When it comes to kayaking I want my water smooth.

Rapids definitely. There is usually a calm water before and after the rapids when I go kayaking. So I experience both kinds of kayaking at the same time.
