Sea Kayaking - Low Brace Turns

Low brace turns are one of the smoothest and safest means of making carving turns in a sea kayak, both on flatwater and in current. In this episode of Sea Kayaking TV, we look at how to perform a smooth and confident low brace turn.

I have watched a huge number of different people demonstrating strokes, most think themselves experts. I find Ken Whiting really knows his stuff, he is my point of reference for my own technique, and I have pointed several new paddlers to his clips.
Many thanks Ken

You make a good point, that's what I was thinking, too. Low brace is more brace than turn.

Great tip!

Once you get the boat turning, edging it either way will help the turn, I came to sea kayaking from river boats were for me edging into the turn is the natural way to go.

I'm a little confused as to why the paddler leans into the turn -- shouldn't the weight be on the outside to allow edging to assist the turn?

[@letmypeoplegosurfing]

that way works, but you'll end up on your face if you're in any current like that opening shot
