How To Use Instructions

Wear Safety Gear Always wear a properly fitted life jacket (PFD). Dress for the water temperature, not the air. Bring a whistle, dry bag, and water. 3. Launch the Kayak Place the kayak in shallow water, parallel to the shore. Sit down carefully while holding both sides for balance. Use your paddle or push off with your hands​/​feet to get moving. 4. Learn Basic Paddle Strokes Forward stroke: Dip one end of the paddle into the water near your feet and pull it back. Alternate sides. Reverse stroke: Same as forward but in reverse to move backward. Sweep stroke: A wide arc stroke used to turn the kayak. Draw stroke: Pull the kayak sideways, used to move closer to a dock or another kayak. 5. Maintain Good Posture Sit up straight with your feet braced against the foot pegs. Relax your arms and use your torso to paddle efficiently. Keep your knees slightly bent and in contact with the sides of the kayak for control. 6. Practice Turning and Stopping Use wide strokes on one side to turn in the opposite direction. Paddle backward gently to slow down or stop. 7. Understand Water Safety Avoid fast currents or open water until you’re more experienced. Be mindful of weather, wind, and water conditions. Let someone know your route and estimated return time. 8. Get Back In If You Fall Out If you fall out of a sit-on-top, swim to the kayak, grab the sides, and hoist yourself back on. For sit-inside kayaks, you may need to learn a wet exit and practice reentry techniques with a buddy or in a class.
