How to Tandem paddle a kayak

In this how-to video, you will learn how to tandem paddle a kayak. First, try it with someone you will be paddling with before purchasing one. The person in the back has to copy the person in the front. For example, if the person in the front is paddling on the right, the back person has to paddle on the right. The back person has no right to yell at the person in the front when it comes to paddling. The back person will push the kayak into the water first and push off. If the kayak needs to be reversed, the back person can instruct the person in front to do so. Make sure to get the timing right so that paddles do not hit each other. By viewing this video, you will learn how to tandem paddle in a kayak properly.
