BEACH sports are all hot in Cebu, from triathlon to beach volley, Frisbee, beach soccer, wakeboarding. And, now, kayaking is making a splash.

Although the paddling pool has been around in Cebu, this year, it wants to make waves in promoting the sport. It aims to make Cebu the paddling capital of the country.
