    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.

    I come for the knowledge but stay for Ken's soothing vocal tone.

    Thank you SO much. I've been given so much conflicting advice without any context. Looking forward to my next paddle!

      Главньій совет от опьітного гребца: Никогда не греби веслом без разворота лопастей! Должен бьіть примерно 75 градусов!

  • @nathanb.5792

    Very helpful--thank you! I hope to try these tips tomorrow when I take my second kayak ride.

      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 🙂

  • @samuelandreasnistadflaten2753

    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.

    • @sbellosa
      @sbellosa Před 4 lety +1

      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?

  • @chevyvantravel9735
    @chevyvantravel9735 Před 5 lety +1

    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?

    • @paddlefaster
      @paddlefaster Před 4 lety

      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!

  • @bobhoward3555
    @bobhoward3555 Před 2 lety

    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....

      @pennthebaker Now I'm confused.I'm not sure how swearing helps your argument?

  • @evanshaw17
    @evanshaw17 Před měsícem

    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.

    • @PaddleTV
      @PaddleTV  Před měsícem

      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.

  • @xscale
    @xscale Před rokem

    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?
