It doesn't have to hurt.....! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you’re frustrated by how slow your kayak is or you’ve developed tendinitis in your wrists, eblows, or shoulders after a season's kayak fishing, I've got a couple of articles out on how to strengthen and paddle from the core, that large muscle group that has little to do with the arms or shoulders. You'll paddle faster, last longer on the water, and suffer less pain.

One article is in the April 2006 issue of MetroSports, the other in the June 2006 issue of Outdoor Athlete.

Much of the stuff I’ve also reprinted on my blog at http://paddlingtravelers.blogspot.co...your-core.html

If you find that your elbows and wrists hurt at the end of a day of kakay fishing, but your stomach muscles aren't sore, chances are you aren't paddling from your core. Maybe the above will help.

If your wrists and shoulders hurt after a long paddle you may be using a Tsunami paddle from COD.
