    At 2:32 you can see why he missed the roll. The paddle is diving deep into the water instead of skimming the surface. He is leaning way back which is perfect but the paddle is almost vertical and is giving no support at all. On the second roll 2:38 he makes the same mistake but is leaning so far back that he manages to pull it off.

    How did you fix your dead leg problem with your seat?

    • @BeauMiles
      @BeauMiles  Před 5 lety +13

      I started by using a thin blow up cushion, which over time became redundant. My hamstrings get really tight, but like any cockpit, get used to the seat over time. Sliding the cushion forward or back made a big difference. As in, the backside and back of the legs are incredibly sensitive to pressure, and the smallest shift makes a difference to someone who is prone to problems. Go well Keegan.
