How to do kayaking?
To do kayaking, you will need:
-a kayak
-a paddle
-a life jacket
-a helmet (optional)
1. Choose a calm body of water. You don’t want to be paddling in white water or against a strong current. If you’re a beginner, it’s best to start out in a lake or slow-moving river.
2. Launch your kayak from the shore. Get into the kayak from the front, and then use your paddle to push away from the land.
3. Sit up straight in the kayak. Your back should be straight, and your knees should be bent with your feet tucked under the footrests in front of you.
4. Hold the paddle in your right hand. The handle of the paddle should be on the top, and the blade should be on the bottom.
5. Push the paddle away from your body and into the water. When you do this, you will be moving the kayak forward. To stop, simply pull the paddle back towards you.
6. Turn the kayak by using your paddle as a rudder. If you want to turn to the right, move the paddle to the right side of the kayak; if you want to turn to the left, move the paddle to the left side of the kayak.
7. Stay safe on your kayak by wearing a life jacket and a helmet (optional). Make sure to also know your limitations and never paddle beyond your skill level.
How to carry a kayak?
There are a couple different ways to carry a kayak, depending on the situation. The most common way is to simply carry the kayak by its handles or straps from the top.
This works well if you’re not carrying the kayak very far, or if there are two people and one can hold each end.
Another way to carry a kayak is to sling it over your shoulder. This is a good option if you’re carrying the kayak by yourself for a long distance, as it will distribute the weight more evenly.
To do this, put the kayak up on your shoulder like a backpack, and then use one hand to hold onto the other side of the kayak so it doesn’t slide off.
