you paddled rapids on your first time in a kayak? hopefully you were
wearing a life vest!

Yesterday I went kayaking for the first time. I had a Dagger closed
kayak, which we rented from a local place. I had a very hard time to
keep the kayak tracking straight. There were very few rapids, so it was
mostly just slow paddling in smooth water.
I had a very difficult time keeping the kayak tracking straight. It
wanted to turn left.
Just wondering if this is normal or due to bad technique on my part.
I am thinking that next time I will rent a longer open kayak that will
hopefully track better. The rapids were not severe at all (Guadalupe
River in Central Texas).
Thanks,
Stan
