Freshwater or seawater? At first, just listen to the call of the water and let curiosity guide you. Satisfy your need for adrenaline or tranquillity, for wide open spaces and rosy red cheeks. Discover the large variety of playing fields from long streamlined beaches to jagged creeks or from shimmering still waters to rocky rapids. Take advantage of the multitude of choices. Practice some tacking manoeuvres or paddle like a trapper in and out of Swiss Normandy's narrow gorges. Try something new. Try it again. Or move on to something else. Calvados is a veritable painter's palette for nautical activities.
