    My dad and I went kayaking today....he was convinced we gotta paddle the opposite ways instead of being in sync.....safe to say that didn’t work and we ended up in the water hahahaha

    Straight paddles like the greenland paddles are good because it can be used for maneuvering as a rudder

      We just bought a double kayak off a couple who were selling it because they kept arguing when they were on it 😂😂😂

    Tandems take a little extra work loading, but once on the water they are awsome.

    I would rather go on single kayak. I regret taking a tandem kayak with lazy friend while sitting in the front. My hands were breaking when I got home.

    Choosing calm waters should be important with a young child onboard. We live on a head of tide river and in the back of my mind I picture a scenario where my child falls off and floats away from me being brought out to sea and me chasing the child the try to get them back in board. Traumatising for the child also. Even worst is the parent fslling off the kayak and the young child is still on the kayak while the parent is pulled away by the current.
    I now plan kayak trips on our head of tide river just before the tide is at it's highest. Less effort paddling also. Not fighting rushing current of water.

    What kinds of seats are those with the long backs and straps?

    • @PaddleTV
      @PaddleTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those seats come with the Jackson Kayak model (Big Tuna), and fit that boat specifically. You can get some good after market seats though. Something like this: www.amazon.com/WOOWAVE-Adjustable-Cushioned-Comfortable-Detachable/dp/B07VDBZXH5

    I want to use this video for my teachers who will be teaching paddling in an outdoor Ed PE class. I copied the You Tube link but it gives me an error message that says I cannot imbed it on my Google Slide. Is that on purpose?

    • @PaddleTV
      @PaddleTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Patricia. Sorry about that. It wasn't on purpose at all. For some reason, that setting wasn't enabled. I've enabled it, and so it should work now. Cheers!

    My wife generally tries to whack me upside the head with her right blade at least seven times per hour (nine times if it's a Tuesday). Are you saying we've been doing it wrong the whole time? 😎
