More on the New 2008 W Kayak Side-Saddle Position
The 2008 W Kayak offers two new positions: Side-Saddle, and the Riding-Over.
The side-saddle position is a stable and comfortable but static position for fishing or resting while your feet are cooling in the water.
It’s possible to paddle in this position, although not in fast moving water or for long distances. You can paddle on both sides of the boat: The one you’re facing and the one behind you. It’s not particularly difficult, and takes little time to learn. Paddling in this position can be useful when you’re fishing and you need to reposition the boat.
The new side-saddle position adds another option to choose from when you feel like changing positions and relieve your fatigue, and it’s fun!

I don’t fish but I’ll try this new position just because it looks like fun!

Paddling this way looks rather difficult - is it?

It’s not difficult, and it can be fun once you’ve practiced it.
Obviously, it’s just for short distances on flat water - to reposition yourself.
