First time user, custom activity profiles

Hi! I just bought the 735XT and have couple of questions. In addition to running I also do a lot of walking, hiking and kayaking.

Is it possible to add or create custom activity profiles such as;
- (regular) walking
- hiking
- kayaking/paddling

If not, what would be the best and most accurate way to track them?

Walking or hiking can be tracked using a CIQ app. Have a look at Hike2 by Jim. Not sure about kayaking.

I use SUP for paddling, with an additional datafield 'DozenPaddle'

Here's a link to Hike2

I live in a desert so I don't kayak! :)

Thanks, Hike2 looks useful! :)

A bit disappointing to see SUP but not kayaking/paddling as an activity, hehe, but the Dozen Paddle data field looks nice.

Perhaps a stupid question but does it matter which type of activity I add the (Dozen Paddle) data field to, or does it convert the activity to paddling?

I see some are using swimming for kayaking, I guess it is because crawling has a similar motion to paddling.

While Hike2 can record both walking and hiking, I also have Simple Walk, which is only for walking. There are fewer screens, but three screens with two larger fields each that can be customized.
