Working with your core is definitely where your power comes from. I will tell you from using a rec yak and a sea yak for a boat demo, you get a lot of speed from the sea yak compared to the rec yak.
GREAT VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL 👍👍👍
The suggestion at 2:10 mirrors the best coaching advice I ever received for the forward stroke. If you take it past the "Oh, this is hard!" (or "this sucks") stage and really work with it, you won't forget it, and after that, paddling without using your core will just feel strange and inefficient.
Kayak is too small for Noah's ark. Lol
I come for the knowledge but stay for Ken's soothing vocal tone.
Ha! Thanks.
😆
Great instruction! I Shared this on my Kayak fishing forum.
Good instruction, Ken!
Thanks we will show our Scouts this video. Thanks for sharing the wisdom :)
Thank you SO much. I've been given so much conflicting advice without any context. Looking forward to my next paddle!
Glad it was helpful!
Главньій совет от опьітного гребца: Никогда не греби веслом без разворота лопастей! Должен бьіть примерно 75 градусов!
Very helpful--thank you! I hope to try these tips tomorrow when I take my second kayak ride.
Great to hear! Enjoy the paddle.
Не пользуйся єтими советами непрофесионала!
Для начала сделай на весле разворот лопастей примерно 75* ( градусов)! Потом набери видео техники спортивной гладкой гребли! Тьі поймешь как правильно грести!
Great tutorial, very clear explanatin and easy to understand. Thank you 🙂
Good video. However, using your legs is where the core mussles are when paddling forward. Thats how you will get the rotation on the upper body more naturely.
I'm not clear what you mean here. Are you saying something different than when he said push down with your foot on the side your paddling?
Could you review PAKAYAK?
what kind of seat it is?
im getting horrible sciatic pain when kayaking now because, i think, i don't have support on my lower back. are we supposed to have support on our lower back when we are kayaking what if i get tired?
Try lowering your backband. If you have a rigid seat back, try raising it to a more vertical position. Also stretch your hamstrings before going out.
Не пользуйтесь никакими спинками! Корпус должен вращаться вокруг оси на сиденьи! Седалищньій нерв тогда заболит примерно через 1.5 часа! Тогда надо причалить к берегу и размять ноги!
Gee, I'm sure in one of these videos it was suggested to push with opposite foot and pull up on the opposite knee brace....
Má narozeniny🎂🎉🎁 a v Praze
Need help, can’t paddle my kayak straight
Its not your problem its the type of boat you have
Hey dude you blew it! I thought at last I'd found an informative video in which you weren't trying to sell something but no you managed to squeeze it in at the end didn't you?!
🙄🙄🙄
Been peddling a long time you hit everything right on the head good video don't listen to anyone else
Nope... great content and nothing wrong in 5 sec endorsement at the end... he isn't forcing anyone to buy...
@pennthebaker Now I'm confused.I'm not sure how swearing helps your argument?
As a qualified BCU instructor your video in large part fails to show the most effective stroke and also the full use of the largest muscles.
Ok. We can disagree on that one. :)
Love your vids man. Have you watched this one for paddle stroke? czcams.com/video/F2fGKNFEURw/video.html
It was a huge change in speed for me. Cheers.
Um ... for some reason your technique doesn't look like what competitive paddlers do. For example, czcams.com/video/70XD4roNlmY/video.html . I wonder why?
