Top Kayaking Expert Teaches Advanced Tandem Paddling Draw & Bracing Strokes
Kayaking Nation's new guide shares a few basic and advanced paddling techniques that you can practice to improve your tandem kayaking experiences.
The guide starts by introducing you to the three basic paddling techniques needed to maneuver a tandem kayak— the forward stroke, reverse stroke, and turning stroke.
The forward and reverse strokes require you to paddle on the same side of the boat, while the turning stroke involves you doing forward and reverse strokes on opposite sides.
If you are already comfortable with the basic paddling techniques, Kayaking Nation shares two advanced paddling techniques for you to try. These techniques—the draw stroke and the brace stroke—are typically used in rough waters to avoid obstacles and to turn your kayak quickly.
When trying the techniques, Kayaking Nation strongly encourages you and your partner to wear snug-fitting life jackets with all the straps and buckles secured.
