One of the coolest features on flatwater and sea kayaks is kayak rudders. Kayak rudders can make touring and sea kayaking significantly more enjoyable if they are used properly. The rudders on kayaks are primarily used to keep the kayak moving straight, otherwise known as “tracking.” Kayak rudders help to steer the boat and the kayak will begin to turn to whichever side the rudder is on. From a technical standpoint, whichever side the rudder is on will apply more resistance against the water while the opposite side allows the water to move by more freely. This gives the side without the rudder the appearance of moving faster than the side with the rudder.
