Land Start

In Kayak there are some types of output, from water or land.

In the latter there is a kind of line on the ground (usually sand) or can be a imaginary line controlled by the referees.

What is the best way to get on the kayak?

You start running and the kayak is on the shore, you must catch it BUT BE CAREFUL because you could injure yourself and may not finish that race/training.

Because of the speed with which you must climb many are released without thinking, jumping and putting in first place the ass or head, almost hitting himself against kayak. Others choose to rise more slowly passing a foot above the kayak, sit down and while they take their feet off, rowing.

If you choose by the first option we know you have a high probability of harm us and drop us into the water, but if it goes well we can get a small advantage over our opponents.

If we start with a safer way, we will not hurt us and we will not fall but we will start a little slower than others.

Whichever way you choose to sit always put your feet outside the kayak and start paddling to ensure stability.

And you? How's your style, careful or faster?

In other post we will publish a video showing this kind of starts.
