    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.

    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

  • @HightideSeekajak
    @HightideSeekajak2 күн бұрын

    Good point, but I guess it dependson the conditions and situation. In many settings, the security of the bow is the better option.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 🙏
