Kayaking!

I'm a fan of the sit-in kayak.  Even when it's not a long trip where I need the storage, I find it more comfortable letting my knees fall "out" and rest against the inner walls from time to time.

I agree, it depends on the application and your confort level. We have 3 boats, a sea kayak (mine). a touring kayak (spouse) and a sit on top for the kids. The sit on top is a riot for sure but it doesn't track worth...

Ya I think it would come down to where you are going to be most of the time and what types of water are you going to be in.  As well as distances paddled and storage needs. I think Experience on the water should be c...

Sit in!

Hmmm, I come from living on the Columbia River in Oregon where there is white water rapids and the sit-in's allow for easy roll overs with the skirt that is built into the suite, but stationed in Pearl Harbor Hawaii...

Is this prefered because of location??

SIt in

What do you prefer, a sit in or sit on style Kayak?

Hi I'm Caroline! I kayak occasionally and love to do it!!!!!

One of my favorite things to do use to be taking canoing/kayaking trips down the Brazos River.  We'd do 20-30 miles a trip with an overnight stop on a sand bank or island somewhere along the way.  Great trips and definitely GREAT workouts.

Nice HIIT ideas and cool to see it being used in kayaking - thanks!

Looks like a great laugh for group training, as well as having serious benefits.  Cheers for sharing!  :-)

Sea kayaks always want to turn into the wind naturally, don't know the technical side of it just know that the bow spins towards the wind. Could this be a possibility? I use stern rudder to hold the boat straight when...

HI Guys, I have been kayaking since I can remember, Its a great way of meeting new people and getting fit. I am luck enough to have combined both as my job.  I have put together a littl evideo with a few fitness ideas for people wanting to use kay...

Thanks Skyler! I will make up a training schedule and get working on the workouts. I have until May to train. But never too soon to start.

I would consider myself new to kayaking, having had the kayaks only 2 years. I have spent a lot of time on a slow moving river (2-4mph), but am wanting to expand my goals, i want some movement!! I am going to sign up for a 72 mile race in May of 2...

I like to be out on the water.  I live near the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers, so I should be out on the water more than I am.

Cheers Ralph-Alas, I have a rather basic kayak- have a seat with a backrest, but no pegs or braces.  Still, gives me more to think about, and good advice too.  Thanks for your help! :-)

There are a few things to consider, first would be position in the kayak.  You should be centered in the kayak.  With a sit-in kayak you should have 5 points of contact, toes, heels, knees, bottom and back. The foot...

I think I need to try it on flat calm, non-tidal water.  Last time I went out, I was getting the left-turn again, but there was quite a sweell on, so I was concetrating more on capsizing.  Lost my concentration half...

I sometimes find myself doing the same thing, with and without my rudder. I think if my weight is slightly off center it will make me turn - whether it's from pushing on my footpegs unevenly or something else I do...

"...it seats about 20..." ;-)

misread that you have a 19 ft 7.5inch wide kayak-that would be seomthing to see! :-D

Hi there -- I live in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, so I'm lucky enough to have both a lake the size of a small inland sea AND a great river, each within 700 meters of my front door. I've been kayaking for a little more than a year now, and it was...

You'll just have to paddle faster!! Where abouts do you paddle?

Paddling in September will keep me warm.  Not sure that will work in November.
