Kayaking Techniques

This list of kayaking technique resources was compiled by BASK Safety & Education Content Curator Rich Luibrand for the benefit of all paddlers. Although watching a video is not a substitute for taking a class with an instructor, it can inspire you to learn a new skill, give you a mental image of what good technique looks like, help you troubleshoot techniques that you're working on, or brush up on existing knowledge! If you have suggestions for additions to the list, please contact Rich.
