How would you say "to kayak" and "whitewater/rapids" in spanish?

Question

The translators have trouble with both and i left my dictionary at school : )

Thanks!

Answer 1

kayak ( noun ) is kayac. There is no separate verb for it that I have heard of. A form of usar ( use) plus the noun might work, also, possibly navegar Since kayak is not a native Spanish word, you might get away with Spanishizing it, just as we tend to Anglocize Spanish words.

rapids los rapidos ( accent on the first syllable)

shoot the rapids would be salvar los rapidos ( accent on first syllable of rapidos)

white water would be aquas bravas ( aquas blancas would be literal, but I think aquas bravas fits the meaning better)

Answer 2

**to kayak = al kayak

**white water rapids = rapids blancos del agua

whitewater rapids = rapids del whitewater
