I have never paddled but have always wondered, why have a feathered paddle?

Johnny Ray - Less air resistance. When you swing the paddle through the air a feathered paddle puts the blade sideways so it slices through the air.

I have a paddle with a choice of three positions; I've tried them all and the 'no twist' pozzie is the best! ;)

Hayden Unsell - Buy kayak paddle grips. They slide over your paddle.

I don't think they are showing the best paddling technique in this video. Look for "paddler box" technique - this is when you minimize bending your elbows and mostly get energy from rotating your upper body. I just learned about it recently and it makes sense to me.

I completely agree! I was disappointed that the kayakers in this video had No technique. They seemed to be simply lollygagging around.

Tight hamstrings can be the biggest cause of reoccurring low back pain, especially problems with the Sacro-Iliac joints. Big pain from those joints when they get inflamed or locked up.

He was talking about Hobie Cat Kayaks, I believe. A kayak with foot pedals that propel the boat instead of a handheld paddle. Google them, they're pretty awesome. I personally ride a Malibu X-Factor and I love it.

Thanks for the video. I own Kayak the Bay, ltd., a kayak rental, in Lake Erie on Put-in-Bay. most people think that kayaking is a lot of work. This video shows how easy it is and that any age can do it. Thanks!!! We have beautiful limestone cliffs and it's sooo easy to get out on a kayak and get a close up look.
