Coupler Coupler Blade Shaft Shaft Shaft Blade GUIDELINES FOR USAGE: These kayaks may be wider than a typical kayak, which means they may feel more stable. However, as with any narrow, at bottom kayak, users must be aware of the possibility of the kayak tipping and compensate for it. Paddle with short, even and easy strokes. Paddle close to the kayak with the paddle almost vertical. Pull with one hand and push with the other. If the nose of the kayak is moving right to left you are probably paddling too hard. Ease off on the force of your stroke to reduce the swaying of the front end. Paddling backward or breaking can sometimes offer quick maneuverability.
