Welcome to your crash course in kayaking with Blue Planet Adventure! Whether you're a total newbie or just need a quick refresher, we've got you covered with everything you need to know about kayaking in just 5 minutes.
First things first, let's talk about getting into a kayak. If you're using a sit-on-top kayak, simply lower yourself onto the seat and slide your legs into the cockpit. For a tandem kayak (also known as a two-person or double kayak), coordinate with your partner to get in smoothly, ensuring weight distribution for stability.
Now that you're in the kayak, it's time to paddle like a pro! Grab your paddle with both hands, placing one hand on the top and the other on the shaft. Dip the blade into the water on one side of the kayak and pull it towards you, using your core muscles for power. Repeat on the other side to propel yourself forward. Remember, kayaking is all about rhythm and technique, so take your time to find your groove.
If you're new to kayaking, consider taking a beginner lesson for some expert guidance. Our instructors will teach you kayaking basics like how to steer, turn, and stop effectively, ensuring you feel confident on the water. Plus, you'll learn essential safety tips and tricks to make your kayaking experience enjoyable and worry-free.
Ready to take your kayaking adventures to the next level? Try tandem kayaking for a thrilling two-person experience! Whether you're paddling with a friend, family member, or partner, tandem kayaking offers double the fun and teamwork. Just remember to communicate and coordinate your movements to navigate smoothly together.
With a little practice and our expert tips, you'll be kayaking like a pro in no time. So grab your paddle, hop into your Seaflo kayak, and get ready for an unforgettable aquatic adventure!

Hello. Show me how to get into this kayak on a steep bank, in deep water, or from a jetty?

[@cbdinfotube2005]

nice place ; my first time to do kayak this place is Hawaii we rent for very price

[@blueplanetsurf]

Glad to hear you got to experience our magical spot in Haleiwa 🤙🏼

[@smitnov]

Want to take my mom kayaking, but due to her cancer treatment her hands are too inflamed to actually paddle. How difficult do you think it would be to control the kayak having a passenger who is not paddling?

[@blueplanetsurf]

It’s easy if you have a bit of paddling experience 🤙🏼

[@blueplanetsurf]

If you are a beginner I recommend going out by yourself first and make sure you are comfortable before having your mom join you, also go in calm, smooth water. Safety first👍

[@smitnov]

@@blueplanetsurf 100%, plan is to take her to a popular lake around us that has almost zero current at all, and good cover from wind. I think to practice, I’ll just put some weights in the front seat and paddle around a little bit to get a feel and see if I can comfortably keep that up.

[@gabornemeth1589]

And of course alone. If there is no one to hold the ship for you.

[@blueplanetsurf]

I answered the question about getting in your kayak on the other video question🤙🏼

[@Vaxedia]

Wait, can I wear my glasses? I have really bad eyesight

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes but make sure to secure your glasses with a neck strap so you don’t lose the glasses if you fall in
