How to tow another kayakWritten by Jakob Jelling
While there are a lot of different techniques to get people back in their kayaks should they capsize while they're out kayaking, these techniques are not all foolproof. It is always possible that no matter what you try, there is no way you can possibly get all of water out of kayak. If this is case, then you'll probably have to drain kayak on beach, and then re-launch both kayaks.Knowing how to tow another kayak is an important part of being safe on water. After all, if there is some reason why other person cannot paddle back to shore, then you are going to need to provide a tow. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you cannot continue paddling, then you should also make sure that you're prepared to accept a tow. There are plenty of reasons why you might need to be towed, and you should not feel embarrassed about any of them. Anybody can become tired or injured, and you should always ask for help when it is needed, especially if you are kayaking out at sea. The first thing that you should do before you tow another kayak is talk to person in kayak. There are a lot of reasons why somebody might have to stop paddling, and you should probably determine which one is problem now. Once you determine that, you'll be able to provide a little more help than just a tow. For instance, if person in kayak is dehydrated or hungry, then you can provide food or water. If they are cold, then you may want to suggest that they put on more clothing.
| | 5 Sure Fire Ways to Build a more Powerful and Pain-FREE Golf GameWritten by Troy M Anderson
Until recently being physically fit was of little concern to most golfers, but tides of changes have recently taken hold of golf world and only strong will survive this tidal wave. Many of today’s golfers are not only working with instructors but they also seek out assistance from strength and conditioning coaches or personal trainers to help them improve their physical skills, in hopes of being able to blast that little white ball a few more yards down fairway. I recently took a look at some of more popular golf related websites and found little relevant information about how or what to do to physically prepare yourself for game of golf. So I as sport performance strength and conditioning coach, I took it upon myself to take a look at physical abilities required to perform a successful golf shot. I did a little research by looking at frame by frame analysis of several of pros; and I walked away with five key traits that every golfer must have in order to be proficient and powerful. Here they are: 1.Trunk Flexibility - this allows golfer rotate maximally during back swing, while keeping hips/pelvis “quiet” during back swing. 2.Trunk Strength – this allows for production of large amounts of power as long as you swing mechanics are on queue. Keep in mind that it is necessary to build adequate amounts of flexibility before moving on to building strength 3.Hip Strength - this type of strength allows golfer to make a successful transition from lateral movement to powerful rotation of pelvis at point of impact. 4.Spinal Stability - this allow for golfer to have a consistent set up for his golf shot as well as prevent possible back injury due to fatigue. 5.Wrist Strength/Endurance – this will allow golfer to establish and maintain a successful wrist set.
