In case you needed some inspiration to keep you paddling in September, here's 5 reasons! The water is calmer Due to less boat traffic, it's possible to experience serene paddling, and you can enjoy calmer waters!... The water is still warm - perfect to train in! On average, in September, the water temperature is higher than June! This setting makes it perfect to train in and to perfect things like your capsize recovery! Less people at tourism hot-spots With kids in school and families getting back in to routine, there are less people at the beaches. More space to enjoy! Less sweating & overheating With the air temperature a bit lower, many people find that they can go even longer in the kayak because the heat doesn't drain them so much - very convenient! Fall colours are amazing and they look great by kayak! At the end of September, you'll have the best vantage point of the changing colours, out on the water!
