I want to take up kayaking but I am afraid it is dangerous.
Yes, its better than canoeing. Much better sitting position.
Where would I begin to start it as a hobby?
I am not sure, but I do hope you enjoy your leisure time.
Do you have any hobbies that you like to do?
I do have activities I do for enjoyment. My favorite is golf.
Is golf a hard sport to get in to? It seems very technical.
No, unlike most games it does not play in a standarized area. Each course is different.
And are all courses 18 holes or are some different?
Its different, but most have 18 holes.
