Whats bigwater kayaking like? My buddies and i want to kayak

I don't know anything about that in particular but it sounds very fun. What type (size, shape, propulsion) of kayak do you want to use? Are you going to camp at night or drag your yak to a hotel? The only advice I have is bring fishing gear because I would go mad being on a river for many days and not being able to fish.

Yeah you'll be fine but always stay hydrated and fed and if theres big boats on the water like barges you'll want to get on shore because they'll ruin your day m8

Try and find out everything about local rules on the water. Rights of way etc. A river like this is more than likely to have a number of working boats on it, so you will want to know what to do in various encounters. Also double check that you don't need to inform an authority about passing through certain sections of river.

Weather reports are critical. Waves and wind and cold will kill you like whitewater, but it will be slower and less epic.

Did you pedal fast when you passed New Orleans?
