This is a dagger Echo kayak that I paddled around in for a while. It was exceptionally stable and was straight as an arrow with the skeg down, so stable that you could take a nap in this thing. It’s the only sit-in kayak that i’ve owned that my legs don’t fall asleep, well the other sit-ins were 20- 22 inches wide so I really can’t compare them. I believe this kayak is now back into production for 2011 by Perception Kayaks under a different name. I’m a sit-on-top guy but i would highly recommend this kayak to anyone who likes sit-ins. I hope the theif who stole my other yellow perception prism kayak out of my front yard will rot in Hades, and may his genitals be infested by the fleas of a thousand camels…

Presented by Rapid Transit Video, HOW TO GO SURF KAYAKING is a documentation of the development of the sport from 1997-2010. This is a story told by a group of surf paddlers from the East Coast. During the 45 minute running time you’ll receive a comical, however sincere, clinic on the lessons these surfers learned about how to travel to different countries with surf kayaks in search of waves, adventure and cultural experiences. Amongst East Coast surfing footage ranging from New Jersey to Florida, the group traveled with surf kayaks to ride waves in California, Costa Rica, Morocco, Portugal, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Ireland and Panama. From getting rental cars stuck in giant mud pits, contracting denuge fever from mosquito bites, breaking boats, and constantly pranking one another, there is entertainment any viewer can relate to. Surfers and kayakers alike will appreciate the challenge of traveling with kayaks and surfboards. Lastly, the journey to play in the waves is universally understood by anyone who loves watersports. By the end of the film you may well know HOW TO GO SURF KAYAKING. Written, directed, edited and produced by Spencer Cooke and Effort Inc.

www.rei.com Brad, an REI Outdoor School instructor, demonstrates basic kayak paddle strokes in this video: the forward stroke, turning strokes, and boat-control strokes. For the forward stroke, think about placing your blade in the water and moving past it, rather than pulling the blade through the water. This increases your efficiency. The forward stroke is made up of 3 elements: the windup, the catch, and the unwind. Rotate your torso (the windup), place the blade in the water by your foot (the catch), rotate your torso (the unwind) to move your boat forward, and then take the blade out of the water when your hand reaches your hip. Now your already wound up for the next catch. It’s a push with the upper hand and a pull with the lower hand while rotating the torso. In kayaking, technique is much more important than upper body strength. Now for turning strokes. The sweep stroke is a forward stroke that allows you to keep your momentum. It begins far forward in the front of the boat, sweeps way wide, and continues all the way back till the paddle touches the stern. Draw strokes help you move your kayak sideways, like to pull up next to a dock. The first draw stroke is a simple reach out and pull toward you. The other draw stroke is the sculling draw stroke: It’s a sustained back and forth motion, kind of like spreading peanut butter. The final stroke we’ll learn is how to stop a moving kayak—it’s back paddling, the reverse of the forward stroke.

I have been renting and borrowing a couple of different kayaks over the last 2 summers. One is a sit on top ocean kayak and one is a classic cheap kayak you sit in. I want to buy a proper kayak and at the moment I am looking at a Drago Rossi FISH kayak. I want the kayak purely for leasure and I want it to be able to do some decent rapids but honestly I will probabaly be on calm river water for the most part.

I am going to join a paddling club and learn proper techniques this winter where I will be paddling in pools mostly.
If you could reccomend a certain shape or type of kayak that would be awesome? Do you have any opinions on the Drago Rossi kayaks? speciafically the FISH? that would be helpful to?
I am also going to be trying out some Necky Kayaks this weekend
I want to learn tricks like rolling and such. What about a "Wavesport EZ kayak"?? I am looking at used kayaks?

amzn.to — Top 10-Paddle Kayaks Price Above 0 to Buy. Kayak–A kayak (not to be confused with a canoe) is a small human-powered boat that traditionally has a covered deck, and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler who strokes a double-bladed paddle. The cockpit is covered by a spraydeck that keeps the inside of the boat (and the paddler’s lower body) dry. The spraydeck or similar waterproof covering attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible, in some boats, to roll the kayak, capsizing and righting the boat without it filling with water or ejecting the passenger. Some modern kayaks have modified the traditional design in a variety of ways, such as eliminating cockpits, seating the paddler(s) on top of the boat, having inflated air chambers surrounding the boat, and replacing paddles with other propulsion methods. Kayak paddles–Kayak paddles having blades in the same plane (when viewed down the shaft) are called “un-feathered.” Paddles with blades in different planes (such as in the image) are called “feathered”. Feathered paddles are measured by the degree of feather, such as 30, 45, or even 90 degrees. The paddle in the image to the right is feathered around 15 degrees. Many modern paddles are made of two pieces which can be snapped together in either feathered or unfeathered settings. The shaft is normally straight but in some cases a ‘crank’ is added with the aim of making the …

I wanted to do some trolling for bass in the dams around Southern Qld, Australia, and considering I do quite intensive physical activity at work, I didn’t want the extra workout for 5-6 hours straight on the water paddling. So, after checking out a fair few options on youtube of the different set-ups, I came up with my personal set-up. I bought a 55lb electric motor, a 100ah marine battery with box and terminals on outside (battery fully enclosed), a battery charger, 130cm piece of 4” x 2″ hardwood (merbau is probably better), 2 U-bolts and drill bit to fit. All costing around 0AUD (US0). I cut the piece of wood to length, drilled the holes for the U-bolts making sure I could reach into my Kayak thru the rear storage hole and attach the nuts. Carved ruts into the wood where the top of the U-bolt would rest on the wood (sits flush and doesn’t move a bit). I got a bit lucky with the battery. I thought I was going to have to cut a hole into the back of the Kayak to make sure it was secure, but it sits nicely against the wood transom beam and the strap goes around the transom and battery box to hold it on really firm. It sits quite firm and doesn’t move at all on smooth waters. Have not tested in the ocean as yet. May attach a couple more straps around it when I finally make the trip into the ocean. The snapper are on the bite so that will be soon. Originally I thought the Kayak would lean a bit to the side the motor was on, but my Kayak is really wide (100cm between …

Kayaking: What Do You Need to Get Started? - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. I tell people that the initial package for kayaking is a kayak, a paddle, and a life jacket. All three of them are a necessity that you need when you kayak. Anything after that starts to become additional equipment that you an always purchase, but those three you need to have. Like the kayaks, life jackets come in a variety of different sizes and colors and shapes and things as well. But basically there are literally life jackets designed for kayakers. They have bigger arm holes, for being able to move your arms more. In some cases they have high reflectivity. They have soft straps so that when you are in a kayak and sitting, you don’t have these straps sticking up into your face. And they are literally designed for kayaking and different size people. All of them of course have to be Coast Guard approved and they are noted to be manufactured. So the life jacket is a very important thing to have. One thing you want to always remember is that you are going to have this is your hand every second of the time that you are paddling. So I sort of preach the fact that you should find something that is going to be comfortable for you to be able to handle all the time. That it will be the right length that it is suppose to be so that it meets your height. And also the materials themselves of what the paddles are made from varies just as much the materials for when you are buying a kayak. You can …
