Great instruction! I Shared this on my Kayak fishing forum.
Good instruction, Ken!
GREAT VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL 👍👍👍
Thank you SO much. I've been given so much conflicting advice without any context. Looking forward to my next paddle!

Главньій совет от опьітного гребца: Никогда не греби веслом без разворота лопастей! Должен бьіть примерно 75 градусов!
Thanks we will show our Scouts this video. Thanks for sharing the wisdom :)
Very helpful--thank you! I hope to try these tips tomorrow when I take my second kayak ride.

Не пользуйся єтими советами непрофесионала! Для начала сделай на весле разворот лопастей примерно 75* ( градусов)! Потом набери видео техники спортивной гладкой гребли! Тьі поймешь как правильно грести!
Working with your core is definitely where your power comes from. I will tell you from using a rec yak and a sea yak for a boat demo, you get a lot of speed from the sea yak compared to the rec yak.
I come for the knowledge but stay for Ken's soothing vocal tone.

The suggestion at 2:10 mirrors the best coaching advice I ever received for the forward stroke. If you take it past the "Oh, this is hard!" (or "this sucks") stage and really work with it, you won't forget it, and after that, paddling without using your core will just feel strange and inefficient.

Try lowering your backband. If you have a rigid seat back, try raising it to a more vertical position. Also stretch your hamstrings before going out.

Не пользуйтесь никакими спинками! Корпус должен вращаться вокруг оси на сиденьи! Седалищньій нерв тогда заболит примерно через 1.5 часа! Тогда надо причалить к берегу и размять ноги!
Good video. However, using your legs is where the core mussles are when paddling forward. Thats how you will get the rotation on the upper body more naturely.

I'm not clear what you mean here. Are you saying something different than when he said push down with your foot on the side your paddling?
what kind of seat it is?
Gee, I'm sure in one of these videos it was suggested to push with opposite foot and pull up on the opposite knee brace....

Its not your problem its the type of boat you have
Love your vids man. Have you watched this one for paddle stroke? kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGaaqa2Hdqi7gto.html It was a huge change in speed for me. Cheers.
Hey dude you blew it! I thought at last I'd found an informative video in which you weren't trying to sell something but no you managed to squeeze it in at the end didn't you?!

@pennthebaker Now I'm confused.I'm not sure how swearing helps your argument?
Um ... for some reason your technique doesn't look like what competitive paddlers do. For example, kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWSMpparn7HSnbw.html . I wonder why?
As a qualified BCU instructor your video in large part fails to show the most effective stroke and also the full use of the largest muscles.
