The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is two handheld kayak paddles and method of kayaking, which allow the user the ability to maneuver more efficiently through the water. This device can be used to navigate through many different types of water and around obstacles with a greater response time. The core components of the invention are the two handheld paddles, which are configured as follows: two separate handheld paddles with an eight-inch shaft and an ergonomic handle at the top of the paddle. With respect to the device it should be further noted that each paddle is two feet in length and requires less real estate for storage while kayaking as well as storage for the winter. With respect to the associated method, in order to carry out the method the following core steps are followed: hold one paddle in each hand, (visual example would be holding a badminton paddle upside down in each hand). While holding a paddle in each hand, pull the two the paddles through the water, one at a time in a paddle stroke motion. Different directions of paddle motions create a multitude of directional effects. Ultimately, at the conclusion of these steps the individual can turn the kayak with greater precision, come to a complete stop faster and turn the kayak 360 degrees from a still position. The paddles were originally built for navigating through water with a large population of weeds, these paddles are more diverse, easy to store and have a larger ability to navigate a kayak than with a regular six-foot-long one paddle system.
