Tandem kayaking is a fun and rewarding way of exploring the water while improving coordination and communication between two people. However, when it’s not done properly, it can be a challenging and frustrating experience. With its new guide, Kayaking Nation provides tandem paddlers with the tips and techniques they need to ensure they have an enjoyable day on the water.

The guide starts by introducing kayakers to the three basic paddling techniques needed to maneuver a tandem kayak—the forward stroke, reverse stroke, and turning stroke. The forward and reverse strokes require kayakers to paddle on the same side of the boat in sync, while the turning stroke involves one kayaker doing a forward stroke on one side of the boat and the other doing a reverse stroke on the opposite side.

For tandem kayakers who are already comfortable with the basic paddling techniques, Kayaking Nation shares two advanced paddling techniques—the draw stroke and the brace stroke—which are typically used in rough waters to avoid obstacles and to turn the kayak quickly.

When trying both the basic and advanced paddling techniques, Kayaking Nation strongly encourages kayakers to wear snug-fitting life jackets with all the straps and buckles secured. Kayakers should also be aware of any weather or water conditions that might make tandem kayaking more difficult.

“Tandem kayaking can be a fun and rewarding experience for those willing to work together and communicate effectively,” said a spokesperson for the website. “Whether you are looking to bond with a friend or family member or want to explore the water in a new way, a tandem kayak can be a great choice.”
