How to Kayak : How to do a Forward Stroke while Kayaking

[busterbrown17]

What kind of kayak is that that kayak has an odd shape

[noahfb1]

@busterbrown17 that's a white water kayak...

[GaaaaspAsp]

@busterbrown17 It looks to me to be more of a Play boat.

WHOOPS im on shore.

I use athlete clothe tape on my thumbs and index finger to prevent blisters.

In the time it took you to watch this video, you could have figured out how to forward stroke AND backward stroke by simply trying it yourself!

I just purchased my first kayak, a Hurricane Santee 100. I haven't tried it yet because we still have tons of snow up in Canada. I know however that when i canoe for longer then say an hour, my hands develop blisters. Should i invest in a good pair of paddling gloves? or is there another way to minimize the friction.

@skadoodlez I tried tape myself, but found it would always rub off... maybe some athlete tape like @paddleme2 said may help, but I just purchased some $20 paddling gloves and absolutely love them for longer paddles. No more blisters, but I also feel like I get a nicer grip on the paddle (although that last part could just be all in my head).

@skadoodlez I do slalom and canoe polo and i just dealt with it for a couple of weeks then i started getting callus just go with it and have the freedom water through your fingers and not having to have them stuck in stuffy gloves

[skadoodlez]

@jackjam08 Okay thanks :)

Awesome, i'll either do kayaking or caving on monday on my school's outdoor education session. Probably kayaking they said.

Hey-Quick question, I was doing a resque in a pool, while holding onto the boat I've suddenly got a pain in the top right of my chest around my ribs...what did I do?

[Paintballman10002822]

hey i just bought a kayak today cause it was on sale and i would like to try it. i took my kayak out and it was very unstable what does this mean. it is a pelican sit on top kayak.

[MattySP34Ks]

@Paintballman10002822 you sir...should take it back. x) ask if they have any closed cabin kayak's.

[funnybunnytom1]

your edgin

[trumpeteerxx]

thing really doesn't track well- every stroke a 45 degree turn

[craigparkskayak]

These are funny... if it goes where its pointed that is straight.. and the carbon thing is a big lever, so you could theoretically push top arm until straight and make the best use of that thing... otherwise you could hold two ping pong paddles and get the same effect...

What is a good kayak brand? What is the best? I went kayaking yesterday and now I'm hooked! I would like to start off with a relatively cheap brand just so that I can practice, but obviously I will get a good one later as I get better.

thanks to the english subtitle, i could understand what she said. it's good for non english native speakers. Thanks!

[capitalsfan4ever]

That is kind of a weird kayak. What kind is it?

[p86944t]

instruction ok, but video seems out of focus and needs a zoom as she moves away
