Grip

Your hands should form hooks around the paddle; don't squeeze it tightly. That will just hurt your hands and contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. More importantly for our purposes, a tight grip will interfere with the efficiency of your stroke.

Forward Stroke

The forward stroke is the first stroke you'll need. Holding the paddle as described, punch out at about shoulder level with one hand, using the palm of your hand to push against the paddle. Your other hand, which is the lower hand, is curved into a hook and acts as a fulcrum for the paddle -- it does not pull. The force of the movement does not come from your arms, but from your obliques, the muscles of your waist. Your waist will twist with every stroke. You'll know you're doing this stroke correctly when you look down and see the zipper of your PFD twisting from side to side as you paddle.

Reverse Stroke

The reverse stroke performs two functions; one, to go in reverse, and two, to stop.

The reverse stroke starts behind you. You hold the paddle more vertically than you would with a forward stroke and insert it into the water as far back as you can comfortably reach. You are leaning back a little as you do this.

The paddle is at a very shallow angle as it enters the water, almost flat. The rear edge of the blade is a little lower than the front edge. 

With your lower hand use your palm to push the paddle forward to your hip. Your upper hand is hooked around theupper paddle shaft. Straighten out your torso as you push. You'll feel that the unwinding of your body is provides much of the power of this stroke.

You will feel your kayak tilt toward the side you are stroking on. This is okay, although a little scary at first. Brace the knee on the stroking side against the top of your boat and keep your torso perpendicular to the water. This will keep your craft from slipping out from under you.

As you perform the first reverse stroke you will feel your boat begin to turn in the direction you just applied the paddle. As you dip your paddle on the opposite side, it will even out.

Repeat on the other side, then the first side again, and so forth. One note of major importance -- look behind you when you paddle in reverse! It takes a little getting used to to twist your head around and still feel stable in your boat, but a few tries and you'll become comfortable.

To stop your kayak, do the same stroke. You should only have to perform the strokes two or three times on each side. Once again, you wil feel your boat start to turn, but applying the paddle on the opposite side will even things out. The main difference between a reverse stroke and a stopping stroke is that the stopping stroke occurs when you're already moving forward. The effect on your craft will be more extreme than when performing a reverse stroke because you will have momentum working against you. With a reverse stroke, we're assuming that you're doing it from a dead halt or from a slow forward movement.

It will take at least two complete boat lengths to stop your craft. In other words, to stop a 17-foot kayak assume you will need at least 34 feet to stop.

Sweep Stroke

The sweep stroke is a way to turn your boat.

Lean forward and insert your paddle into the water near your toes. The blade is almost flat on the water. The front edge of the blade is slightly lower. Lean on the blade a little, pressing your knee on the opposite side up against your craft and keeping your torso perpendicular to the water. Sweep out to the side, stopping when the blade is even with your hip. Remember not to grip the blade tightly; a tight grip will twist your wrist and put an unnecessary strain on it. That's the straightforward description. The way it feels when you try it is that the blade stays stationary in the water while you use your body to pivot the boat around it.

Sideways Strokes

Here we'll talk about two ways to go sideways.

First, the draw stroke. Hold the paddle nearly vertical. Insert it into the water near your hip, as far as you can comfortably reach. The blade is parallel with the craft. Draw the blade toward you. At the end of the stroke, turn the blade so it is perpendicular to the boat. Slice it back to the starting point and repeat until you're where you want to be.

A sculling draw stroke is used when you want to have the paddle continuously ready to begin a different stroke, or when you need added stability. Hold your paddle to one side in an almost vertical position. Insert the blade into the water at a 45 degree angle to the boat and move it in a figure-eight. As you move through the center of the figure-eight, twist your wrist so that as your blade moves into the other curve it's angled the opposite way. By placing the blade at a flatter angle to the water, this stroke provides extra stability, which is useful in rough water.

Your kayak is tilted either toward or away from the side you're stroking on; it depends on the boat and you'll have to experiment. Your knee on the raised side is pressed up against the top of your craft and your torso is once again perpendicular to the water.Bracing

Braces are strokes you use catch your balance when you start to tip over; think of them as preventative strokes, although some people certainly do them just for fun. It takes skill to ease your kayak onto its side, lie your back on the water's surface, and swirl the paddle over your head in figure eights -- and hang there indefinitely.

then ap lagi...

sume pilih partner untuk kayak bersama...ciap2 pasang seater, pakai life jacket atau lebih dikenali PFD-Personal Floatation Device..then masok tasik...

my partner...wan aulia hami fariheen

sblm 2...dak laki kne gune kayak yang terdapat d tasik shah Alam tersebut..dan mereke dikehendaki membuat capsize dulu... 

bayangkan kene tebalik kan kayak sendiri kt tengah-tengah tasik yg kt tmpt dalam then masok blek dalam kayak....wa~~

tgk dowg wt ad yang btl...cm sng je dowg buat..ad yang kayak dowg terus tenggelam masok air...mang klaka la...

capsize - perlu dilakukan agar apabila kite tebalik semasa berkayak...kite tidak panik dan tau bagaimana nkmengatasi nye dengan cara yg betul..

sampai mase kami lak kayak-ing....

senyum lebar ngan croc pink

kami perlu berkayak dgn proper teknik..sblm naik kayak...ak dan wan bincang lu spe yang jd bowman dan spe yang jd sternman...selepas membuat keputusan..wan dok depan jd bowman sbb dy lg berat dari ak dan senang nk balance kan kayak...ak lak jadi sternman...just follow sternman flow...

kami berkayak dengan baik memandangkan masing-masing punya pengalaman berkayak sebelum ni...dan semua nya berjalan dengan lancar..

ble time capsize plak...adoyai...agak kecewa ckit...

da tebalik kan kayak..paddle da jage...1, 2, push...argh..x terangkat..berat..air da masok byk...then wt lagi..x putus ase..1, 2, push..ok..kayak da btl...tapi ble time bowlman naik,, kayak pn tenggelam lak.. air da masok byk sgt...

bayangkan kt tengah tasik yang dalam uw...nasib bek ad PFD...klu tak jenuh la nk terapungkan diri...1 ag nek bek gak sem lepas blaja berenang..berguna gak..

kami minta bntuan dari rakan untuk membuat X-RESCUE...

malang nye..

semase wt,ngan dowang-dowang skali tenggelam...haha...sebab both gune slalom...yang len untung bb dapat kayak seat on top..

nk seat on top ni..

RESCUE TECHNIQUE

* self rescue

- do by yourself

- when other kayakers are far

* X-rescue

- do when fully uot of kayak

- to clear out water

- help other to get back onto his kayak

* H-rescue

- same like X-rescue

- look like "H" shaped

kami kene berenang balik ke permukaan dalam mase yang sama bawak kayak yang tenggelam uw...pergh...berat seyh...tolak dalam air lak uw...

sampai kt permukaan...buang air dalam kayak uw...kne wt cm jongkang-jongket...sowg angkat,sowang turun..mang kene gune tenaga yang banyak...

then masok lek dalam tasik...kayak lagi...igt nk wt lagi capsize...tetibe dapat arahan dari abg Om lak kene rafting...

ni la rafting...sume yg tengah kayak kne berhenti dan cepat-cepat berkumpul dalam barisan apabila ketua mengangkat  paddle secara menegak..

apabila semua nya sudah berbaris... abg Om mengajar SIGNALS IN KAYAK...

wa~~ blaja kt kayak ats air....blom pena spe wt an...
