Second year paddleboarding. Second year reviewing this vid! Thanks so much 🙏

Very informative and helpful! Thank you! ❤❤

Great video! I also just try to figure out why I have higher speed by my left side stroke, and slower by right side (e.g 11 vs 10 km/h in the same river conditions). My therory is that years ago I started to SUP by only right side paddling (as this is my stronger side), which generates relative long strokes due to keeping the board straight. And only after the first season I started to use my left side, which is with little bit shorter stroke...Maybe this could be the reason for the speed difference. Unfortunately to redesign my right hand strokes is very difficult:)

**everyone liked that**

I live in florida and just bought my first paddleboard, i’ve lived here 3 years and complained about never being to do hikes because it’s so flat only to realize you’re supposed to do water hikes in florida 🤣 I take my first lesson tomorrow, and the board comes on monday. This will be super helpful. Any other suggestions for a pre newbie??

Great video. So yeah, turns out I've been keeping my top arm too straight. I never put too much thought into how the top arms influences the strike so much.

If I had a dollar for every time this guy said paddleboard, I could buy a lot of paddleboards.

AWESOME podcast!! Thank you!! I'm working on my 1 leg closed eyed balance daily and throughout the day. I have ready seen an improvement on my SUP! This weekend was really windy and choppy on the water and I didn't fall off the board!

I bought the Zen 12’6 double chamber Touring, any thoughts on that board?

Hi Ethan. I would like to ask you. If you inflate an inflatable board to 15 psi out of 15-18. How will the board behave against the wind? Will it sail? Does 3psi have a significant effect on the rigidity of the board for fast gliding through the water?

I want one for fishing. I’ve been fishing from the bank since I started. Getting one will change everything even if it’s from Amazon.

Thanks for this great review. I dream a device for sportwatch mirroring screen. I think it would be a great choise for Garmin, Suunto, Polar users that avoids to look at the watch screen. It would be an hybrid system between NK SpeedCoach and sportwatches. 450€ is too expensive for e one-sport-device if your not a professional paddler.

What did you think of the Everready vs Blackfish?

I own and use the rowing version, because I row competitively, and I want the most accurate data. I SUP for cross training / recreation, and a smart watch and phone are good enough for me.

Got one and I think your comparison is spot on. Smoother catch and power phase. I didn’t realize how aggressive the catch on the hydro was because that one was smoother than the previous rectangular Hydro. So far I like it but sort of prefer the old round shaft slightly

Would love one but couldn’t justify the high price given I already use a garmin watch. As an alternate for instant visual data I use a low cost waterproof bike gps that gives speed distance and time on a similar size display for £30 and it works fine.

I’ve had several different models over the years, since 2014 I think. I feel like it stalls sometimes, no matter which model. I got a new one about one year ago. I mean, sometimes I’m in a down wind situation and my speed doesn’t increase but I am going faster and covering more ground. Sometimes this happens, not enough for me to smash it. Overall, it’s good for training. Although, about every three years it self destructs. It pretty much happens like clockwork. About every three years, during a workout, it randomly shuts off and then it won’t turn on again. I’ve always treated them pretty well, never dropped them or whatever but it always happens. This is the main reason why I’ve had three or four models over the years. If it happens, you can mail it to the company, pay half price for a new one. I’d rather have this than give the communist overlords more money.

What are your thoughts? Would you use the Speed Coach?

Great Review Ethan !! 🤙

Bruh let people buy cheap stuff not everyone is loaded

So I just received the Indoor SUP equipment and signed up for the videos. I have sent an email, but wanted to share with you that I do not see an intro video explaining all of the equipment and how to set it all up. In particular, how to size the shaft. I know you are making a new video and you might want to include it. I am not sure the reasoning of the order of the Kona videos also. Again, I am relatively new to SUP and got the Kona Indoor SUP to understand my stroke before I start bad habits. Thanks Again!!

Welcome to Washington! See you on the water!

Thank you

Ah repetition on the less mobile side with slow progression toward increased ROM . 🙂

My indoor SUP setup is delivering today! Very excited to improve stroke. I have been watching you for some time. Thank you for such great content!

what kind of paddle board are you using? you are paddling very straight.

What do you think about the body glove kit at Costco?

in a hypothetical scenario... if there was a sup that was longer and maybe the paddler had to be positioned a bit more forward and thus changing the geometry of the sup (alongside all the parameters allowed for a racing sup..but anyways...) and its center weight the longer stroke actually might make sense and be faster

How much time to inflate 1bar(150 psi) stundup?

Bro what’s the name of this board?

Yesterday I was experimenting with the top hand close to the head, keeping it about 1 Shaka or 2 away from my head. It felt a bit awkward pushing down with a lot of force with cocked elbow like that. Not sure about it yet? I definitely need to work on my bottom hand grip as well!

How do you feel about glide paddle board

I have a board from Amazon. Got it reduced from £220 to £169. My friend has an isup. We meet. We go out. We have fun. There is zero difference between the two boards. I’ve had no issues with mine whatsoever and it comes with a 3 year warranty

Good thing I am so old school that when I started SUP'ing, there was only straight leashes to be had, I don't need to go run out and buy any.

First time ever listening to a paddle board elitist.

Thank you sooo much to share this with us! 🌸👏❤️💎 You help me a lot to grow for the next race. You are amaising. I learn so much on this channel. Your work is precious

Great video. I was wondering what lake it was until right at the end and you went under the small bridge. I haven't gotten down there to paddle yet, but, it looks like an amazing lake to cruise around. It has been so windy and choppy on Lake Washington for the last month, I have been trying to find a more sheltered place to go paddle.

I'm still stuck in the sand

Bonjour Ethan, changement de température 😊,moi dans mon coin été comme hiver même avec des températures négatives on enfile la combi hiver en 3/4mm et c'est parti 😊, c'est pagaie a l'air sympa, après ils y à tellement sorte et de model, qu'elle pagaie et pour qu'elle utilisation,rando, sportive,et aussi qu'elle type de parcours , pour ma part beaucoup parcours sinueux (les hortillonnages Amiens France) donc plus une pagaie tous terrain aussi bien en légèreté et efficacité Merci pour cette vidéo bonne journée à toi

Love that lake, haven’t been there in years

I am wondering about the product cycles of some companies. Started with a square going to rounded tipps, back to square. Deep concave, lighter concave, tripple, quadruple concave. Every time it is the invention and marketing thing. Honestly test as much as possible to find your preferred paddle. Anyway I love my Hydro X.

Здравствуйте. У меня вопрос. Какой у вас рост и какую длину шафта вы делаете. Второй вопрос.. Какой размер лопасти?

Thanks for the great review, Ethan. Wow what a change in climate moving to WA! Sounds like the catch on the new Synergy might be a little softer with its less squared off shape vs the Hydro?

Is this st andrews?!

I have 2 amazon boards. One by ROC and one by feather lite. The ROC one is amazing quality. the feather lite i bought as a back up is much lighter and the quality is not as good as the ROC. I did my research before buying the ROC board and im very happy with it. The feather lite i paid after coupons/deals 57 dollars. So i expected sub par quality out of that board, but if i want to take friends out with me i can.

great video, well explained!

will you race in the icf world championship this year? cause it seems like you could actually do really well against the biggest names in this sport

Interesting the variety of styles on the technical race start.

Many rookies on rentals or inflatables here. I carry a length of dyneema cord as a tow rope. It has come in handy during little squalls
