8 TECHNIQUE TIPS
Paddling is fun, eective and can be practiced on many dierent levels. You can padd-
le longer trips, go fishing around the reeds or simply enjoy the nature. Inflatable kayak
is much more stable than a solid kayak – still get used to the kayak’s movement in
shallow water before paddling into deeper water.
Take a bit wider grip than your shoulders on the paddle. Reach as far forward as
possible, immerse the blade completely in the water and lift it up when it reaches your
side. If you drag the blade behind you, the kayak will start turning. In a two-person
kayak, the stronger paddler should be in front as the “engine”, and the rear paddler will
focus on steering. If you are paddling alone in a two-person kayak, it is a good idea to
secure the seat between the two benches to keep center of gravity in the middle of
the kayak.
We hope you have a lot of fun with the FitNord kayak and spend memorable
moments enjoying nature!
