It's Fun to Get Together with Other Kayakers
The kayak group that my son joined, HRL Paddlers, is hosting Paddlefest next weekend - August 9 and 10, 2008 at High Rock Lake (near Salisbury, NC - not far from Charlotte either).
My son is really excited about this event and has been talking about it all week. He's been calling around to his Boy Scout buddies to see if others want to join in the fun.
If you've never been kayaking, you ought to give it a try. It really is fun to be on the water in a small craft. It's even more fun if you have a group to paddle with. HRL Paddlers is great. They help folks get started with kayaking. If you're in North Carolina or even over in South Carolina, check them out. If you're in another area, see if you can find a kayak group. You'll learn a lot and make new friends with common interests.
I'm not sure how common such kayak or water sport groups are. You can also check around and find companies that host kayak, canoe and white water trips. Those are fun as well. That's how we got started. If you sign up for an organized trip, then you don't have to invest in gear from the start. You get an idea of what water sports are like and whether this is something you want to do big times.
