Perfect tutorial - thank you.
summer 24 ? 😂
It's on it's way, eta July 😂
Thank you! Super helpful 🙏🏻
These guys have no balance, whats going on.
It's intentional training - for when you really do lose your balance ;-)
I usually get my chest on top of the back of the kayak and then hook my legs in the hatch and rotate to sit. However, this requires a paddle float to avoid tipping after the rotation.
Lässig 😎
Epic vibe 💪
Hitler in his kayak.
I just bought my first kayak and by watching these videos are extremely informative. As soon as it gets warmer I’ll be using these helpful tips 😊
Enjoy your new hobby!
Such an excellent simple video of assisted rescue after capsizing.
Thank you for the awesome video.
Glad you liked it!
Hold the decklines on the side of the rescuer’s kayak. You risk getting pummeled if you wrap your legs around the recuser’s bow
Good point, but I guess it dependson the conditions and situation. In many settings, the security of the bow is the better option.

Hello! Can i check, if this works on a K1 canoe? Also, how do you bail the remaining water in the cockpit out?
Sculling is one of the best skills.
Impressive ! Thanks
Excellent, clearly explained. This is going to help me heaps as a beginner.
The guys in the video do not paddle as you say they should - their body stays stiff while they rely entirely on the strength of their arms. That is very common on the water, indeed. How often do you get to use the extra paddle set?
Понимаю примерно 40-50% )))
Very, very helpful! I'm not very experienced and this made some important things clear. Thank you.
Big error. He holds onto stroke too long. The blade should not go past the hip and the top hand not past the face. Otherwise you are wasting energy and slowing the boat down on each stroke. The efficient stroke is very short and vertical. Don’t want to push water down or up or away or towards the boat
I’m a certified ocean instructor
How about a video to illustrate your point? With the video speed set to .25, at 1:39 the blade is coming out of the water as it passes his hips. I think you are nit picking and certainly not pointing out a “big error”.
@@evanshaw17If you treat your clients like you do someone who has gone to some considerable time and expense to try to explain an element of their favourite sport so others can learn, I think you need to look at our training technique. Nobody is perfect, but if you had been generous with your critique rather than coming across as a grumpy curmudgeon, it would have been much better.
Never let go of your paddle guys
Looks a fantastic session Dave... Good inspiration for things to try
Easier with swells wind and rain 😂
Finally... so hard to find anything good
You should look at your own video. Your demo onshore is great but in the kayak you're not rotating as much. The first part of the stroke is the most important bury the paddle blade.
Small tip, in your surfski, angle your pedals back a notch, your demo of technique results in back and forth steering input.
thanks for a great educational resource
This is probably the best forward stroke instructional I have ever seen. In the 16 years I have been instructing, this is the closest I have ever seen to the stroke that I teach my students. Extremely well done, simply explained, and easy to apply! I will certainly be adapting some of the techniques in this video to my clinics.
greenland paddle forward stroke has a different technique
Ps:good vid though 😉😉
Kurze Frage zu Minute 2:00: wir da äussere Bein (aus Rückenlage betraget) ins Boot geschwungen oder das dem Boot nähere Bein ins Boot gelegt und dort verkantet? Das letztere habe ich so gerlernt und finde, dass man so sehr viel Kraft durch das Verkanten entwickelt.
Try it in 4' breaking waves not flat calm water.
wher are your safty-line for your padel , you tich other hove to do thing , remember you tich them who have newer do it before , and you have no safty-line in your padel ,hmmmm no good
way nowone have line in padel , so you dont need to think about your padel , no good info in this video ,you do it wrong
Couldn't have said it better.....beautiful !!!!!
Any kayak fisherman/woman here trying to learn how to paddle better? I bought a lifetime tamarack angler 100 and can only go about 2-2.5 mph according to my GPS/Fish finder. Curious how much faster I can go in it since it's a lot wider than these kinds of kayaks. Also I'm only in the harbor(only been out twice) and when the wind kicks in it's quite a workout! 😂 Thanks for the video. Would u consider making a video trying to take a fishing kayak out to sea and seeing how you do in that? Curious about a person who is in the sport of kayaking would do and their thoughts on taking a fishing kayak out to sea(paddle only). Stay blessed 🙏
Thank You! This video is very helpful and great.
👍 bravissimo
Fantastic demonstration and instruction. Thank you!
Beyond helpful.
Not saying I am into asmr; but this video is my learning style.
Beautifull
Such a G! 🔥
Wow. Finally. That was what I am looking for. Thanks a lot for this perfect tut.
Don't let go of paddle ever and use a paddle float. That wouldn't work in tough water.
WOW, echt RESPEKT 👍
I am very much a beginner and truly appreciate you taking time to help those of us with less knowledge to learn. Keep up the great work and I shall be watching your videos!
This guy looks like hitler
Danke !
Awesome! TY
