Reverse Paddling
By Jakob Jelling
Reverse paddling is an important kayaking technique.
While forward paddling is probably one of the most
commonly used paddling strokes, reverse paddling is just
as important. In fact, before you go kayaking, you should
definitely practice both forward and reverse paddling to
make sure that you have the necessary skills so that you
do not end up in trouble while you are out at sea.
First, when you are reverse paddling, you should make sure
that you are holding the paddle lightly, just like you
would if you were paddling forward. This will help you
have more control over the paddle, and it will also keep
you from getting injured while you are paddling.
Next, you should make sure that you are using the back of
the paddle blade when you are kayaking. While you should
put the blade into the water near your feet in order to
paddle forward, reverse paddling requires you to put the
blade into the water near your hips instead. Then, you
should push the paddle toward the bow of your kayak while
turning the trunk of your body.
You should make sure that you always keep your elbows bent
while you are reverse paddling, that way you will not
hurt yourself. You should pull your paddle blade out of
the water about when you are even with your knees in the
kayak.
You can improve your reverse paddling power by reaching
further behind your hips.
Finally, it`s important to make sure that you are checking
behind yourself and over your shoulder while you are
reverse paddling. That way, you can make sure that you
are not going to run into anything dangerous.
This stroke is even more important since some of the
techniques that you will learn by working on it are
important in order to learn the emergency stop technique.
