Using your Mission Kayaks Glide 420 package is a breeze. First, choose the right version - Standard or Expedition - based on your needs. Before heading out, make sure your Quest PFD fits properly. Adjust the straps so it's snug but not too tight. When you're ready to paddle, hold the Waikato paddle with a firm grip. Use your upper body and core to power each stroke. The asymmetrical blade of the paddle is designed to work well in different water conditions, so feel free to explore lakes, rivers, and moderate open waters. For long trips, use the storage hatches to keep your essentials dry and organized. After each use, rinse your kayak, paddle, and PFD with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and dirt. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If you've upgraded the paddle to a split - shaft option, make sure to store it properly disassembled. Remember, shipping takes up to 3 - 4 weeks and the item can't be sent to rural addresses. Enjoy your kayaking adventures safely!
