The Zen of Kayaking

By Luigi Barbato

"Kayaking has a fundamental characteristic, that of putting man in close contact with the sea. ​​Being seated in a boat that is little more than a nutshell, below the surface of the water, transmits to the canoeist all the moods of the element in which he is immersed, ending up making him feel at one with it". ​​The Zen of Kayaking is an essay in which experiences lived aboard this elementary boat are told with an eye to the reflections that contact with nature generates in the spirit. ​​The work does not claim to be a manual, but rather aims to convey the most original aspects of kayaking. ​​Through a narrative that avoids any technical-sporting ambition, aimed at mere performance, it instead focuses on that meditative and introspective sphere that originates from contact with beauty. ​​Through the song of the sea, we can recover, with a surprised look, the adherence to the part of ourselves that modern life tends to keep dormant, the most authentic one.
