What are the action essentials of kayaking?

The paddle surface of some standard kayak paddles has a certain arc, and it is the thrust generated by these arcs on the water that the kayak can move forward. It can be said that it is the source of power for the entire kayak. The paddle has two sides. The side that is concave inward is called the force-applying surface. This side is the side that generates thrust. It should be facing backwards, and the other side is called the back side. The paddle surface of many kayak paddles is slightly asymmetricalso thatthe movement under the water can be smoother. So we must pay attention to the difference between the back and the front of the paddle when we take the paddle.

The distance between the two hands holding the oars should be well grasped, which is roughly equal to the distance between the two elbows. This distance can be adjusted appropriately when paddling, and paddling will also save a lot of effort. If you want to speed up the kayak travel speed can be slightly increased the distance. If you want to row for a longer time or row a long distance, then we can appropriately reduce the distance.

Some professional propellers have an angle difference on the blades, which is similar to the propellers on helicopters. The purpose of this is to reduce the resistance of the air to the blades on the water surface. Therefore, the hand holding the paddle should be fixed on the handle of the paddle, and there should be no major changes in the process of paddling, because the hand is used to adjust the movement angle of the paddle. So the angle should not be changed greatly, and the paddle should be held with both hands. It is not advisable to use too much force so that to cause fatigue of the hands easily.
