Tandem Kayaking Know-How

Rather than sitting on a raised seat like you would in a canoe, a two-person kayak has two openings, one for each person. You will sit with your legs outstretched inside of the kayak, with only your upper body exposed to the elements. The special paddles used for kayaking have a blade on both ends so that you can easily alternate paddling on either side of the kayak.

Communication is Key

Figuring out how to successfully paddle around in a tandem kayak requires a bit of practice and a whole lot of patience. It is important to communicate clearly with one another and coordinate your efforts rather than inadvertently work against each other. Working out a rhythm that allows you to synchronize your movements might take a little while, but it will be well worth the effort. Once you have given it a little time and practice, you will both surely get the hang of it.

Tips for a Smooth Ride

Before you just hop in and go, decide who will sit where. It is generally better for the stronger, bigger person to sit in back because they will be able to have more control in steering and propelling the kayak. Take turns practicing your paddling skills individually and once you both feel comfortable doing it solo, you can work on coordinating your movements. Choose a side to start on, and have your partner begin on the opposite side. Do a quick countdown and begin synchronizing your paddling. Before you know it, you will discover a speed that works well for both of you. Remember, the most important thing is to communicate clearly with one another.
