Paddles
Whether you go canoeing, kayaking or supping: a paddle is indispensable. It ensures that you move forward and can also offer a solution in the event of a breakdown on the road.
How should you paddle?
Paddling means moving the paddle through the water to move forward. You can't escape it in canoeing, kayaking and supping. Only run the blade of the paddle through the water, otherwise you will make it unnecessarily heavy for yourself. Do you want to make a turn? Then paddle on the left side of your kayak or paddle board to go right, and vice versa.
Which paddle do I need?
Many paddles are multi-purpose, suitable for both supping and kayaking. For canoeing and kayaking, a paddle with a blade at both ends is recommended, so you can make meters faster. When choosing, pay attention to weight, good handles and possibly adjustability.
