The American Canoe Association has produced several excellent videos for kayakers. As an ACA Paddle America Club, North Atlantic Canoe & Kayak is proud to make “A Guide to Paddling – Coastal/Sea Kayaking” available on our site. Of course you must keep in mind that paddling techniques cannot be learned solely by observation; they require comprehensive training and on-water practice supervised by qualified instructors.

While originally intended for paddlesport businesses and their staff, the video still provides some great introductory material to those new to the sport of kayaking. It also demonstrates why proper training and practice is so important to safe and enjoyable paddling.

Here’s the ACA Video.
