What kind of kayak is your sit on top? I'm having a hard time finding the perfect beginner kayak.

Found this channel last summer and have watched most of them. They contain great lessons for anyone starting out and the occasional kayaker. I have forwarded this channel to our kayaking group and received positive feedback.Thanks

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your feedback on the channel, glad to hear it's been useful to you and your paddling group! Keep an eye out, as we will be releasing some more of these types of videos in the future, including more specifically on sea kayaking. Happy paddling!

I have a lower back problem so I cannot twist my torso while paddling so when I paddle it using low angle paddle and my arms. I also only paddle from my toes to my back.
The farthest distance I have done with this method is 40 nautical miles.
So you are showing a prejudice against those like me.

Joseph Mullin if you practice the torso rotation it will strengthen your core and back muscles. I have chronic back pain, and in addition to that I had back surgery in 2017.
