The most interesting / useful part of this video was the man sitting in the boat in the shop. Ima going to try that.

I think the guy at the end there has no legs so they propped him up in a kayak.

I almost drowned when I turned the kayak over in my neighborhood Dicks Sporting Goods store.

Great tips for beginners like myself.  However, it would be even more complete if you can include on "how to stop the kayak".

This is great info. I youtubed this after planning my trip from Taiwan to the United States with google maps.

Go to google maps and try typing from Taiwan to United States, then read 124.

The blade enters the water at the hips, onside arm slightly bent and the torso rotated. The body then unwinds towards the offside pushing forward with the back side of the paddle. The blade then comes out at the toes. If you have rotated your torso properly, your offside arm should be reading to be dropped straight down to become the onside and the process repeats itself. Like swimming every 2-4 strokes turn your head on the setup and look where you are going.

It's not bad form for the offside hand to cross the center line of the boat. In fact it's required for any draw, the stern steer, sweep and reverse stroke, also in waves or wind, you need to keep the paddle as close to the boat as possible to allow you to maximize energy from the stroke and plant your blade deeply in the cresting wave. The critical point is to NOT have the offside hand pass the center of the torso - maintain your box! Otherwise you risk shoulder injury.

I have never been able to start from shore, maybe I'm heavier but that technique never worked for me. Nobody I know does it that way either. Having the boaot in the water and yes your feet get wet, works best in my opinion. Just Start Kayaking.
