Tips for kayaking

2023-04-14

The kayak is out of our control in the water, and only by mastering specific leather kayaking skills can the leather kayak move freely in the water.
First of all, the surface of some standard leather rowing paddles has a certain degree of curvature. The thrust of these curvatures on the water enables the leather rowing boat to move forward. It can be said that it is the power of the entire leather rowing boat. The source is that the oar has two sides. The side that is concave inward is called the force side. This side is the side that produces the thrust. The paddles of rowing boats paddles are slightly asymmetrical because this can make the movement underwater smoother, so when we hold the paddles, we must pay attention to the difference between the back and the front of the paddle.
Secondly, the distance between our two hands holding the paddle should be well grasped, which is roughly equal to the distance between the two elbows. We can adjust this distance appropriately when paddling. Put in a lot of effort. If you want to speed up the rowing boat, you can increase the distance slightly. On the contrary, if you want to row for a long time or a long distance, then we can appropriately reduce the distance.

There will be an angle difference on the paddles of some professional paddles, which is a bit similar to the propellers on helicopters. The purpose of this is to reduce the resistance of the air to the paddles on the water's surface. Therefore, the hand holding the oar should be fixed on the handle of the oar, and there should be no major changes during the paddling process, because the hand is used to adjust the movement angle of the paddle, so the angle should not be changed greatly, and It is not advisable to use too much force to hold the paddle with both hands, otherwise, it will easily cause hand fatigue.
