- General and paddling-specific fitness is commonly what holds back paddlers and keeps them on plateaus of performance, especially in the winter months!

I love the dog!
Chris, on my son's second time out, I had him paddle up stream in a class 1 riffle; moving up eddies, doing ferries and peel outs and repeating. He learned more in 15-20 min than he probably would have in 3 days of just floating down the same stretch of river. While this is not a revolutionary concept, I was personally stunned by how quickly the feedback loop was realized with so little coaching my part. FYI, you are still the best!
Thanks for doing this
Absolutely!

It's coming!
I absolutely love how comprehensive this teaching is! Thank you. That whole thing about curving strokes is something that very few people (certainly here in the UK) are taught, and the deficit sits at the heart of so many problems for learners.
Glad you enjoyed, Matt. Your acknowledgement bears quite a bit of weight!
@@whitewaterdreams too kind! I'm only following where other great coaches have led.
Interesting and looks tough and kinda fun. Depends a bit on the river I guess as you certainly need to have some side to side eddies and not just river wide shelves like a few of my local rivers I could do this at, but definitely some sections would work for upstream practice!
The right river makes all the difference. Shoals with lots of shelves can be a great morphology for these kinds of pursuits. Were fortunate that our local geology helps.
Great video when you are driving with your feet you really use your hips. Would this help a lot. Thanks
