Stretching & Kayaking

Stretching before and after paddling is a great way to prevent injuries, reduce fatigue and increase flexibility. Regardless of whether you are a river runner, creek boater or aspiring freestyle rodeo paddler, starting your workout with a warm up and stretching will ensure you have a long and enjoyable paddling experience. Although shoulder injuries are the most frequently reported paddling injury, many kayakers overlook the need to increase flexibility in accessory paddling muscles.
