If you're a Kayak paddler and your day ends with your shoulders or wrists hurting then you are doing something wrong. Here are a coupld of videos that can help you keep from hurting, and get more out of your time on the water.

Using the Push/ pull technique will take a lot of stress off your joints and muscles. Believe me it can make a difference.

Another secret Ive kept in my closet is Pilates.

Lots and Lots of Pilates before any kayaking adventure.


Any more secrets in your closet?

His power stroke is second to none. And when choosing a shaft length, always remember, the longer the better!

Sometimes with paddling it's got to hurt a little to be good, and as far as I'm concerned half the responses here are gay, but certainly some are more gay then others. :iamwithstupid:

Great videos. I had seen most of those before I got my kayak and even after I used all those techniques I was left with some soreness, obviously something was up. So I watched this video and went with this method, and guess what.... NO MORE SORE SHOULDERS!!! I land on the beach completely painless in my entire upper body!
