Good paddling technique will take you places-and your arms won’t be tired when you get there! Our video goes over the right way to hold your paddle, how to do the forward stroke, turn with the sweep stroke and come to a stop with the reverse stroke. Watch the video, then grab your kayak, paddle and PFD and give it a shot.
And, head to your local REI for kayaking gear, classes and all the advice you need.
