Great video. I'm 70 and have been rowing for about 10 years in northern NY. Had a few lessons very early on and can always appreciate extra tutoring. I got dunked once by a curious motorboat coming alongside to see what kind of craft I was using--apparently never saw a shell before--and once when my blade came too close to the stern of my neighbor's docked motorboat. Can't wait to move on to the next episode! Thanks.
Gives me encouragement. In my 50s. Never done this.
I was taught in the US of how to fall out and get back in. This is a good video.
Thanks for being so down to earth! Good video!
Love it !!! very well done... bravo..
Stephen,
Thank you for sharing your expertise and congratulations on your 2012 Masters win.
This was a great video to learn the basics. Not only does he tell the sculler what to do, he clearly explains why you are doing it and what will happen if you don't.
Very helpful! Never knew how to get in the right way which resulted in me falling in not so long ago!
Thank you, Stephen. This was very helpful. I just started a "learn to row" series in the States and love your tips about how to move the handles and get used to the feel of the boat rocking. It's unsettling when you get into a boat for the first time, so I'm excited to try this at class tonight. Looking forward to learning more from you.
Excellent Info. Thanks!!
Excellent sculling tutorial for beginners.
+Julio Reguero If you think this is good Julio you should see what is in the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery. Access through scullingacademy.com. Remember that even Olympic champions were beginners once and we are all on the same path, striving for excellence, so that we may enjoy sculling more.
Thank you! Lovely video. I've been sculling at North Bay Rowing Club in the SF Bay area (Petaluma, CA) since 2008 or so, but always love seeing great scullers explain technique.
I am a grown man who loved rowing in his early years as a teenager, but never could be close to learn about it. Now, with 34 years old, that man wants to give it a try after looking at your encouraging videos. I am a person under sport discipline. I use to be part of the national mountain bike team (back in my country) and a military reservist, and I apply the same discipline today on my life. I'll love to practice rowing in Montreal, Canada; the city I leave in now to encourage as well my 3 young sons (4 & 2 years old) in a future to join in.
Thank you.
thank you, I'm very new to this in the Bahamas soo.... thanks alot.
So valuable lesson, priceless. Thank you so much!
I came to rowing late and now member of a senior squad, usually in a quad (scull and sweep). Done doubles a few times but about to go single - this video is giving me lots of good advice, thanks
How did it go?
@@StephenWalkerAhoy-Boats thanks for your interest - much appreciated. I very much enjoy our Sunday morning outings throughout the year and I like to think I'm now a reasonably experienced hand. Our senior group has steadily expanded so it's usually a double or quad as many of the joiners have limited experience. I could try a single but it means having to go out on a different day in the (summer) evening and this has proven a bit too much of a logistical challenge. Main thing, I am really enjoying it.
@@paulveldhuizen7770 Hi Paul, you don't have to limit yourself to going out in a single to reap the benefits of all the teaching that I provide in scullingacademy.com. In fact doing the same drills and exercises in a crew will help immensely to get the whole crew thinking and acting together. Cohesion is the extra man in the boat.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to make these videos. Very useful. Perfect for any beginner rowers (like me). Filling out the form now for Pt.2.
Thanks again.
Thanks this video helps a lot I have been rowing for about a month 3 days a week and I have only been sweeping in 8s but my coach sees my potential and wants me to be in an oct and this really prepared me to scull
This is great. Thanks Stephen.
Hi Steve, enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stephen, I really like your calm approach to start with the feel of the boat, water, oars, and so forth. I grew up with Canoe's, and have occasionally been on a kayak- scull row boats have always interested me.
Locally we just have the Rio Grande, and the Laguna Madre by South Padre Island as potential locations to row.
Love this guy!
Thanks for this informative video. I am teaching sculling for the first time and this is a great way to teach. I will have my student watch your videos as reinforcement of what we go over in class.
I've been sweeping for 3 years but I'm preparing for a single scull this summer this was quite helpful for some drills to practice and becoming familiar with the boat.
Hi Stephen, I really enjoyed your introductory sculling video. Thank you
Very good and useful training video. Very clear. Thanks
This sport always mystified me, I am glad to learn the basics here. I also always found it to be quite beautiful to watch a single sculler out on the river.
Super video Steve, new to the sport, your advise is invaluable, thank you. Especially like the tip about setting the rowlocks, I'd already made that mistake and would have continued if not for your video.
This is really helpful thank you so much.
thanks, this is the most helpful advice for singles so far 👍
Very helpful and informative. Thank you. Stephen
Interested in starting rowing. This video is helpful. I will register to get the next one! Thank you.
This was zo helpfull, Thanks A lot
Brilliant instruction 👏🏿
I enjoyed your first video very much. More than another I've been receiving for a long time. I look forward to more from you. Thank you
Then you need to enrol in scullingacademy.com Nancy-Ellen.
I row tomorrow for the first time! This is already very helpful! More later... :)
Excellent. I am starting to row in my 60 ‘s you really prepared me not to go dropping in water. Also how to work to be able to maneuver those moves gracefully. 🙏🏻 thank you
Very helpful advice thank you very much
This is so helpful!
I needed a video for my daughter to watch as she was being told to learn how to get in right.
Its really helpful for beginners and others!
It's really a trailer for Sculling Academy. If your daughter wants to scull well and scull fast then you should enrol her in it via, scullingacademy.com. The most useful info is in the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery. However, she can start with my Simple Sculling System.
Thank you. Am looking forward to the next video!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Stephen!!
Your description of your first time on the boat made smile. My coach too was not particularly talkative or patient. I remember we had to board and row away from this small strip of water between two piers lined with moored yachts, so pushing yourself sideways was really the only option. Actually, we had to to give a good showe with a foot balancing with the other, before sitting. First time around sounded a bit mental :D
Best technique video
You da man, ste-phen!
Simply Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you. I felt better about getting in a scull for the first time yesterday!
Glad I could help in however small a way. Bravo.
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Is that an anagram of Doris Day? If you think that this video was helpful, wait till you see what is in the 55 or so videos in the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery in my scullingacademy.com. Go an enrol Dori.
Excellent how-to!
This is only a beginning Mike. If want to get past just managing to stay upright and to become an expert then enrol in scullingacademy.com. You can start with the Simple Sculling System but the real golden nuggets are in the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery.
Thank you Mr. Walker this was very helpful
This video is only a taster. Join Sculling Academy.
Thanks so much
Thanks! Very instructive
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just getting back on water after 10 yrs! Thank you!!!!
It's not like riding a bike.
I started my rowing hobby few hours ago, this is just amazing!!
Wonderful!
Thankyou for your video, as a neighbor has been asking me to go for a row in his 2 seat sliding shell and suggested i look up and view a video. Yours was the first I saw and has allowed me to decide I don't want anything to do with this uniquely hazardous sport, in boats that are so designed to put you in the water!
Ha ha! But then you will never know the joy of sculling. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
I'm fairly new, started last summer here on Boat House Row in Philadelphia. Already "went swimming" and it is quite alarming to find yourself under the boat! Then try and right the boat, oars flying as you flip it back, and if you have the strength (luckily I hadn't completely exhausted myself, but close, and no climable shoreline) lift yourself back in the boat. These balance exercises make so much sense! It's like when I learned to show jump (horses), learning to ride no saddle, no reins and balance. Made a huge difference. Will be watching and practicing... almost ready for the gig. Usually go out in a quad (much more stable) and when my partner and I go out in a double it is wobbly and a bit scary for me. Gotta get the feel of the boat. Thanks Stephen Walker.
Enrol in Sculling Academy's scullingacademy.com online course, the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery and reap the full benefit of my years of experience.
Just beginning to scull and I'm going with Steve Walker.
Stuart Ewen Welcome Stuart! Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Excellent. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I so desperately want to learn to row, but just don’t have the confidence. Brilliant video....
Well, pinpoint EXACTLY what it is that bothers you Aryi then face your demons in a safe environment with supportive people around you.
Thank you. Very helpful indeed!
You're welcome!
Great explanation and demonstration of getting in the boat, by extending the right leg back while putting weight on the left leg and stretching out to the lock. I really appreciated the way you demonstrated the way blades can be used for acquainting oneself with the tipping nature of the boat.
This video only scratches the surface of what you need to know and what I can teach you JFE in scullingacademy.com. Invest in yourself. Scull well. Scull fast.
I have been away from rolling for a decade and tried today . Wow I certainly need to relearn my skills. Thank you for you tutorial, it certainly helped . Perseverance is definitely required , maturing years plays a number with balance. Just getting in was a site to behold🤣. Well I managed to keep dry but that’s about it.
Very helpful for new beginners!
Glad you think so!
perfect lesson, thank you !
Glad you liked it!
Just learning a bit about sculling. I have always thought it would be great fun to do and am considering buying a boat.
impressed with how flexible he is!
Sculling and yoga. That's all you need in life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the familiarity exercises - thank you.
Then the next thing to do is to opt in and receive by email more video links to instructions that are not here on CZcams.
So very simple step by step.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Loved it
Really enjoyed your video. Look forward to seeing some more. I’ve just started in a single.
Awesome! Thank you!
A ha moment...angling for push off. 👌🏻
Thank you! I learned a lot with this video. I can't wait to stay out of the water this afternoon!
Enrol in Sculling Academy Steve.
Great video thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very helpful, thanks a lot 👏🙏🙏🙏
Most welcome 😊
Very helpful, clear video. ‘Wish I watched it before my first lesson.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
This video was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Make sure you enrol. This is only the beginning.
Very helpful.
Glad to hear!
Very nice.
Setup your boat near the end of the dock and push forward. Always try to get blown in when landing. Balance is a reverse through the pin fulcrum
Hello Steve, just back from my first learn to row in the water at the Chattanooga Rowing Club with my ERG crew from Hydrow. 3 days of intense instruction and it was a blast. I would like to continue to row in the water. Your first video reinforced the techniques we learned. I have subscribed but I can find the form to fill out. Looking forward to more ! My best and thank you. Debirows
It's now in the description. www.scullingacademy.com/OptIn.htm
Thank you -
aha I was at GRC over the summer, surprise to see it whilst looking up sculling tips
Enjoyed very much!! Very informative!! Would like to view next video! Rowda
Then you need to enrol in scullingacademy.com
ありがとうございました。Thank you very much...
thanks!
Good stuff, Steve. Learning to row at 65 after bike accident. Balance a bit off but your tips help. Born in Liverpool so can relate to your story about Birkenhead! Now live on lake in NH USA. You can literally drink the water from the lake!
Great stuff. All water should be like you describe.
Thank you for this video! I bought a used Alden Horizon, haven't rowed in years, and definitely need to learn how to do it right from the beginning. I tried it last night without watching any videos first, and it was a disaster! Very tippy, and I gave up. Now I will try again.
That's the spirit Cheryl. If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. As you progress you'll need more knowledge so enrol in Sculling Academy. scullingacademy.com
Thanks alot!
You're welcome!
thanks
I really like your way of showing how to be more confident and NOT fall in...instead of just showing how to get back in. I am very new to this, but the water that I am rowing in is only about 20 feet deep and full of Cabomba, nutria, and all kinds of other things that I don't want to be swimming with. I would really like to see the next video! :)
Keetha McDaniel Thank you. All you have to do is to fill in the form at scullingacademy.com/enter-your-details-please/ and you will be sent to it directly.
Great 1st lesson....I have been rowing all my life but never in a racing shell.
I just bought a wintech single and will take all advise.
Thanks, Steve
Good choice Dave. I love my WinTech.
Dave Pellew can you recommend a boat brand for a beginner? Thank you
A friend is letting our family use the touring scull. I can hardly wait to start. He is a retired world level judge. In two days he will teach us our first lesson.
How did it go?
I had one sculling experience in a single which ended in falling in. I really like the boat tipping exercise and handle rotation in the boat to get the feeling that the boat will tip but not necessarily capsize. I currently scull in a double and quad competently, my goal this year is to row a single. Thank you very much for the video!
So how is it going Heather? Have you mastered single sculling yet?
Hi Stephen. I just saw your comment (one year later-oh dear!) I’ve just gone back to sculling this year and it’s going well so far. I’d like to see the next video in this series about not falling in but I can’t seem to find it. Anyways yes but I could always use more pointers! How are you?
77 and just learning now son bought a basic beginner scull
Bravo
Great info on the three point of contact method you used to lock in your oars. Looks really stable.
Glad it was helpful!
@@StephenWalkerAhoy-Boats I'm following up to let you know I did this during my last row and it was loads better than my previous technique...I felt very secure putting in my waterside oar AND getting into the boat. Thank you. I've submitted my info to find out how not to fall in. And I shared the video with my sculling buddy.
thanks.
You're welcome
Very helpful. Please send the link to the next video.
It's in the description is a link. There is also a little "i" in a circle at the top right of the video that is known as a card and you can click on that..
Stephen - Nice video well thought out and executed. Used to row and coach and fix the boats at Tees long ago before they built the barrier. If you fell in it was off to the hospital and get your stomach pumped out.
You cannot cover everything in one short video I know but while you covered positioning the gates and putting in the blades nicely you skipped over the stretcher. First time out and the sculler would probably want to make sure it is in the right position and tightened down.
All these "other" things are covered in my online Sculling Academy, scullingacademy.com Dane. As you say it is impossible to cover everything in one short video.
Thanks Steve , that's the best sport I ever practised as a child when I was a lot lighter , lovely video ,,,Thanks
I sell bigger boats for bigger people who want to take up rowing again in order to get smaller, ha ha, but mostly just to enjoy rowing. ahoy-boats.biz/nordic/
I have just progressed beyond the Learn to Row stage and TBH it is all just a little too much to take everything in when you are trying to get on the water with at least other 3 boats waiting on the steps behind you. Being able to watch somebody doing the bassics, step by step has helped. Thank you, I shall be watching your further videos.
Don't just stop with these basic skills Lynn. Enrol in Sculling Academy. There is so much I can teach you.
