People think it will be fun to be out on a kayak but they may not know where to begin or how to get started. This is some basic information that a person needs to know when they want to go out in a kayak.
         When getting in the kayak a person should put their backside firmly on the seatback. They should then allow the legs and the rest of the body to get comfortable. When it comes to the kayak it is important to have balance. If a person is worried about balance they need to sit upright. 
         The balls of the feet should be placed on the footpegs. A person will need to look and see if the knees are bent. If they are the footpegs can be adjusted by sliding them on the track. This will make it more comfortable and easier to move around in the boat.
         The knees do need to be bent slightly. They need to be in contact with each other and they should be on the sides of the cockpit. This will help with control and will allow a person to paddle with the east. They should fit snugly but a person should not have to worry about their knees being jammed in place. 
         To get the kayak moving put the paddle blades under the deck lines and stand over it.  Once out in the water sit down and allow the legs and the feet to get back into place.  Use the paddles to get moving and to help the kayak move. It is going to take some upper body strength but many say that it is worth it.
         These are some tips for getting out in a kayak. It is going to be a workout for those that are not familiar with it but going out in a kayak is a lot of fun.
