A short distance south of San Francisco, CA is this region which has exquisite elements of weather and nature that fit well with paddle sports activities of canoe and kayak trips.
Although the history of kayaks and canoes begins with the early native people who used these types of boats for transportation, paddle sports are used today primarily for recreation trips on all bodies of water.
One trend emerging is that people are using kayaks and canoes for transportation again, as people gain awareness of the environment and want to escape from the congested traffic.
