  • We all make mistakes. But, when you’re a first-time kayaker, there are some obvious mistakes that you can avoid to ensure your paddling experience is fun, comfortable and safe.
    In this quick instructional video, Jeff with Oru Kayak shares with us some common mistakes we’ve all made as beginning paddlers as well as how to avoid them.
    Jeff explains the importance of proper posture, holding your paddle correctly and more. These simple tips and tricks will help you maneuver your kayak more easily and comfortably for first outings or an all-day adventure.
    Oru Kayak offers a full range of folding origami kayaks that are lightweight, portable, compact and easier to handle than inflatable or hard shell kayaks. They’re perfect for beginners, seniors and experienced paddlers alike. Plus, we offer paddles and other kayak gear and accessories to beautifully complete your rig.

    Hi, great video! For a next '101' video, it would be great if you could cover getting in and out, and how to not put strain on your wrists (and avoid them hurting badly after a few miles). Thanks in advance!

      Oh wait, I see you already have videos on getting in and out - never mind :-) :-)

    Getting in and out of the kayak can be tricky on a dock since it moves as well.

    What seat do you have in that boat that would allow you to recline so much? The stock seat back wouldn't allow for it. I just bought an Inlet and have been struggling to find a comfortable position. The stock seat bottom is too thin and slides slightly forward while paddling. Could you make a video showing different seat options?

    Maybe this is more advanced, but when I pull the right paddle blade through the water I’m pushing that same blade with my left arm giving the stroke more energy.

    What about anchors? How do you put an anchor down in a sit in kayak?
