Excellent information is always. The only , I would have is that the paddle should be as vertical as possible for the most efficient movement. Vote on edge toward the blade with a vertical blade means the water movement is undirectly under the hull. There's a trade-off, though. With the blade less vertical provides more support. The balance is increased efficiency and.greater support. For me, paddle position would depend upon the conditions. In rougher water support is more important for me than efficiency.
Fantastic points. I’ll pin the comment for all to see.
@@KayakHipster Sorry about the voice text! At least the message was the same!
good tip on turning to face the work and the upper hand
Love it! I think new kayakers tend to make kayaking or paddling an exercise of the arms. When, as you show here, it is an exercise of the core muscles. I find I am intuitive in the water. But this is really good points to refine technique. Something you could not be aware of with all the aspects of a stroke. Being mindful of what you're doing makes kayaking and paddling a lot more fun and efficient. Excellent reminders. Thanks so much.
👍very helpful - thank you very much!
Awesome. One more thing that can help is to knee-hang and drop the hip away from the direction of movement. So if you’re drawing to the left, drop your right hip. I guess this depends on the kayak shape and has more impact for a boat with a hard chine; it just gets the chine out of the way so the hull can better glide over the water.
On another note: is it just the camera angle, or is your paddle asymmetrical?
Thanks
Great video - I LOVE THE SKULLING DRAW! - I did a “how to” video on all three draws. Really nice. Love the carbon fiber Greenland stick… you’re such a hipster.
Very informative as always keep up the great work
Fully agree - and looking at where you want to go instead of staring at the paddle! I was trying to fathom out the make of your paddle - not your usual Gearlab
That’s a great point. No prob, this is a Nimbus prototype the guys have been working on, it’s been great paddling with it. Cheers!
Nice looking Nimbus GL paddle. Where can I get One?
👍👍👍👍👍
