Embark on your kayaking journey with Blue Planet Adventure, where we make learning to kayak a breeze for beginners! Let's start with the basics: getting in and out of a kayak. If you're using a sit-on-top kayak, simply approach the kayak from the side, lower yourself onto the seat, and slide your legs into the cockpit. When you're ready to paddle, grab your kayak paddle and hold it with both hands, making sure your grip is comfortable and secure.
Now, let's talk technique. One of the essential strokes in kayaking is the sweep stroke, which helps you turn your kayak smoothly. To perform a sweep stroke, extend your paddle out to the side of the kayak and use a sweeping motion to move the blade through the water towards the stern. Practice this stroke on both sides of the kayak to improve your maneuverability on the water.
Feeling ready for more? Dive into our kayak beginner lesson for expert instruction on kayaking fundamentals. Our experienced instructors will walk you through everything you need to know, from kayak instructions to paddling techniques. By the end of the lesson, you'll be gliding through the water with confidence and ease.
Short on time? No problem! With our quick guide, you can learn to kayak in just 5 minutes. We'll cover the essentials, from how to paddle a kayak to basic safety tips, so you can get out on the water and start exploring in no time.
So whether you're a first-time paddler or looking to refine your skills, Blue Planet Adventure has everything you need for an unforgettable kayaking experience. Join us for an adventure on the water and discover the joy of kayaking with our beginner-friendly programs and top-of-the-line equipment.

Aloha friends it's Robert Stehlik with blue planet in today's video i'm going to show you how to kayak in five minutes i'm going to cover how to carry the kayak getting in and out paddle handling stroke technique safety and balance tips sit on top kayaks are great for warm weather rough water conditions like paddling in the ocean if a little bit of water splashes in it's no big deal you don't need a skirt or anything like that it's easy to get back on if you need to and if it's rough and water gets in there usually sit on top kayaks will have like a drain hole this one has a plug so you just pull out the plug and the water can drain out so when you're carrying the kayak by yourself make sure to protect your back bend your knees when you're lifting it up keep your back straight and then lift up the kayak like this before you get on the water it's a good idea to practice getting in and out on land first the easiest way to get on is in shallow water you basically just sit down in the center of the kayak make sure your weight is balanced and start paddling if you're getting into deeper water in a place like this or from a dock it's really important to keep the kayak close to the edge and get on and keep your weight centered right over the center of the kayak at all times because if you're not centered you are going to fall in
the correct way to hold the paddle is with these scooped ends pointing downward so this is the correct way to hold the paddle and then the blades have a scoop in them this is the power face of the paddle so the scoop side is the one facing you so beginners often only use the tip of the blade ideally you want to use the whole blade so plant the whole blade in the water and the goal is to plant the blade in the water and pull yourself past it

Good to see you man! You helped me paddle board two years ago. I couldn’t master standing up and gave up. I spent 100% of my paddle board time on my knees basically kayaking it. This year I am kayaking! It’s great to already know the strokes to some extent and body movement, etc. Kayaking is more for me. Thanks for every video and all your help. This video also covered things 90% don’t on RU-vid! I enjoy it. Aloha!!!!

Stoked, thank you for the feedback. Just get out on the water and have fun, it does not really matter what you use, whatever floats your boat as they say. If you can't stand up on a SUP, the board you used was probably not wide and stable enough for you. With the right board, almost everyone can stand up in calm conditions with a bit of coaching and practice. Aloha!

Brilliant video, answered many things I wondered about! Am new to kayaking and I've got the bug for it! I've got an old piranha 'sit-in' style and it rolls like anything! No flatness or detail to create suction underneath. Looking for a 'sit on' now, but some of these tips will come in very handy to help stabilise the boat.🙏
@blueplanetsurf
@blueplanetsurf Год назад
In a sit inside kayak your center of gravity is a bit lower, so that helps with stability but a sit on top is easier to get on if you do fall out. But yes, some kayaks are very tippy which takes practice. Make sure to always use your paddle to brace.
@escapevelocity8092

@@blueplanetsurf That makes sense, it did feel as though i was getting more feedback from the water, like one does from a racing car compared to an everyday car. I noticed that the kayak seemed to prefer being on a left or right slant than in a virtical alignment, and thought this was a fault with the boat, but I've just viewed instruction videos which seem to call this 'secondary' stability, and is quite natural for a sit in? I just couldn't figure out how to incorporate smooth, continuous forward, stream line motion without cambering off to one side. One question if you have time: the snug fit of a 'sit in' creates claustrophobic anticipation of rolling and being stuck in kayak, does the submersion in water aid our escape from the vessel? Or hinder it? Obviously for experts a complete roll is the most efficient way, but I just wanted putting at ease. Thanks for all your hard work that accelerates our understanding massively.

@blueplanetsurf

Does your kayak paddle have drip rings? If not, get some and position them so they keep the water off your arms and out of the kayak.

You can lay your body across the kayak as if you are getting back into the kayak from the water, as in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jsw8ejUFEaw.html

Yes it’s a good recreational kayak for paddlers under 210 lbs. if you plan to kayak long distances, a longer kayak will have more glide and better tracking

try to find some smooth, calm water to get the feel for it and use your paddle for bracing to find your balance, it will become easier with practice.
