    What about sitting in the whitewater position and using your paddle instead I f swimming? I don't want to lose my paddle.

    Yea for sure you can use your paddle but best is to maximize your legs as well so lay on your front. Paddle with paddle and kick with legs

    @@SethAshworth Then what do you do with your paddle? I always found legs kind of useless without fins. Wouldn't you take rock hits to the knees if you swam chest down? I know I have before. Isn't there much more power in a paddle than bare legs and arms anyway?

    Sounds like you are gonna try a little lower and see what you like on the next run. Remember the trade off for stability is leverage so roll MAY get harder when stability improves. Not definitively though. Depends on you

    Really helpful explanation! Your direction to always get in the proper setup position is more than just a good idea. It is a mental cue to relax, get your stuff together mentally, and reestablish your sense of body position. For me, just getting a good relaxed mental state is indispensable. Of course body movement and position are critical, but especially in very cold water it’s important to counteract the cold shock with a little mental chill, as it were. 😅

  • @powskier
    @powskier4 ай бұрын

    Obviously the forward position or center position would be best for running big stuff especially in a half slice since they are so imbalanced anyway. But what if the back position is all I can fit in my Antix 2.0? Same thing with my supernova,: all the way back

    I get the added reach when doing a vertical paddle stroke. It seems like so many brands are focusing on their own version of a forward offset paddle blade. I'm wondering how it does for downriver play like stern prys and reverse sweeps for tailies and rock splats. Thanks for all the insightful videos.

    It is strange that I can roll with goggles on every time but its 50/50 when I don't have goggles on. So frustrating because I don't want to paddle wearing goggles. Any advice?

  • @SethAshworth
    @SethAshworth6 ай бұрын

    I would probably take iterative steps to reducing goggle use. So roll in flat, well set up without goggles until comfortable. Then roll in flat no goggles no preset up, then in whitewater set up, and then in whitewater no set up, repeat each step 10-20 times

  • @jeffarcher400
    @jeffarcher4006 ай бұрын

    First off great job. You didn't even get your hair wet or lose your hat. But it's kinda cheating to set up and roll right through. It's great for starting but realistically it's good to also practice awkward tips with the paddle in the worst position and no momentum. After reading a comment about a float I'm thinking about putting a pool noodle on the paddle shaft and I might just leave it on. Whoa just got an idea! Have an inflatable float that doubles as an emergency air supply attached to the middle of the paddle. An inflatable bladder with a snorkel mouthpiece maybe even the CO2 absorbers like the military rebreathers use. It would give endless roll attempts and could save lives especially if pinned. Just don't use it for waterfalls or you might have too much resistance and catch it in the face.

    Glad you're back Seth. Keep sending it. I want to drop a few ideas for videos. My top desired video is a how-to video from an intermediate perspective about how to unlock the full potential of the Antix 2.0 from someone who has basically exclusively paddled river runners/creekers (Zen 2, Nirvana, and now the Gnarvana). With a particular focus on how to fully engage the stern in different ways but also how to feel more confident when things get swirly with the stern. In addition with the Antix 2.0, I like to run two hip shims but anytime I run two in the Antix 2.0 my feet fall asleep. What is the best remedy for that? I know I can run just one shim, but then I feel loose. My other idea is a compare and contrast of the Nirvana vs Gnarvana and tips and tricks to unlock the full potential of the Gnarvana. Thanks for all that you do.

    Thanks for the tip on the hip pad placement. Still new to hard boats. Since I got my own kayak (instead of borrowing others), my feet and legs are falling asleep within a half hour or so. Will try moving the hip pads up a bit. And for real, have you ever had trouble mounting a GoPro to the provided mount? The screw head will always prevent the camera mount bracket from siding on all the way. It seems to be like this on all JK boats.
