Can you safely use a kayak in the position you are demonstrating at the 3:33 minute mark ? seems like a comfortable stance just wondering , thanks ! im prepping a trip to the pacific ocean and id like to try this stance so i don't get tired

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, dangling your legs over the sides will make you more stable when you are not moving but also adds a lot of drag, so I don’t recommend it while paddling, better to just use a more stable kayak if you are struggling with balance.

The difficult is my hand is not able to reach to other side of the kayak. How to get back?

[@blueplanetsurf]

The main thing is to kick your legs behind you so your body is close to the surface, then slide your chest onto the kayak. If you can’t get on from the side, try getting on from the back.

Yeah, but if you're on a lake in like Iceland or Switzerland lol that water is gonna give you hypothermia why do people go on kayaks?

[@blueplanetsurf]

If you are new to kayaking, you should avoid conditions like that without proper wetsuit or drysuit. Once you are comfortable it’s unlikely that you will fall in if conditions are calm but it’s good to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
