The lowest compartment of a kayak or any other watercraft for that matter is known as the bilge. Since Bilge sits below the water level, it is quite obvious that over time, it will accumulate some water due to leaks or waves.

This is the reason why it makes sense that you should invest some of your hard-earned dollars on a powerful bilge pump to get the job done. Bilge pump makes the…
Humans need a water temperature of about 72 degrees to maintain thermal balance. If you lose your kayak and are immersed in 60-70 degree water in summer paddling gear, you may lose consciousness in 2-7 hours.

When sea temperatures dip below about 60 degrees, what you wear protects you from “cold shock” and “gasp reflex,” which can take your life within moments of capsizing, if your head goes underwater (as it does when you capsize a sit-inside kayak). Individual variation…

In theory, paddling is simple. There are only three types of strokes: propelling, turning and bracing. But just these three strokes can seem daunting considering the multitude of variations and stroke combinations. At the most advanced level, just a simple flex of the wrist can alter the direction of travel and angle of the boat. Paddle First the paddle. In a canoe, choose the side you want to paddle on. This is your on-side. Your hand on this side of the boat is your shaft hand and holds the shaft of the paddle. Your other hand is your grip hand,…
Paddling is an excellent form of exercise. It helps you stay fit and at the same time, it relaxes your body and mind to a great extent.
