Paddling Your Fishing Kayak Like Never Before:
What's kayak skiing?Kayak Skiing & WaveWalking It's paddling standing in your kayak. Some call it 'Human Powered Water Skiing' and we call it wavewalking if it's done at sea: You paddle on both sides of the kayak or on one side. Adults normally need a paddle that's longer than a regular kayak paddle. How useful is it for fishing? It's useful in many ways: First it reduces fatigue and eliminates leg numbnesss and back pains caused by sitting. It also enables effective scouting and sight fishing, as well as better casting and landing fish. How easy is it? Very easy when you do it in a W kayak. It can from minutes hours to learn even if you have no previous paddling or skiing experience How fast can I go? If you're good you can go as fast as when you paddle seated Can I kayak ski at sea? Yes - you can even paddle ski in the surf after some practicing - We sometime call it 'wavewalking' Can I kayak ski in whitewater? Yes, but you may want to practice on flat water first, then in fast streams, and so on - like you would progress in seated paddling, and you should wear a helmet and possibly other protectice gear. Can you kayak ski in tandem? Yes - The W fishig kayak can take two lightweight passengers, and both may paddle ski. Do I need any bindings? You don't need bindings, shoes or straps of any kind. Can children kayak ski? It's easy for children to paddle ski - they even seem to prefer kayak skiing over seated kayaking. Can I use a kayak skiing paddle for seated paddling? Yes, since it's only 9 feet long. Can I steer the boat while kayak skiing on one side? Yes - it's similar to steering a canoe using a J stroke on one side. |
