Kayaking skills

Seated: Sit in the cabin with your legs straight or slightly bent and the soles of your feet on the footrest. Keep your back straight or lean forward slightly, don't lean back. Hold the single- or double-headed oars with both hands, arms shoulder-width apart.

Paddling: Use your waist and core muscles to rotate your power, not just your arms. Paddle the paddle into the water at a 45-degree angle to the body. Push the handle firmly and simultaneously retract the handle on the other side. Lift the paddle out of the water and repeat the action.

Turning: There are two methods, one is to sweep the paddle, that is, to make an arc-shaped paddling action on the side you want to turn, from front to back or back to front; The other is rudder, that is, making a stroke in the opposite direction on the side you want to turn, from back to front or front to back.
