- Continuing with our theme of complete basics, this week we are taking a dive into the world of eddies, and considering some common misconceptions!
If you have any suggestions of videos you'd like to see, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Any music you hear is by withunveiledfaces.bandcamp.com/ - Sport
Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!! About bloody time someone said all this on CZcams!
Well, very much inspired by your encouragement! And let's face it, other (better) coaches have been saying all this stuff for years.
Really good tips and information Matt. Great to see other paddlers in the video showing different methods/techniques too.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm endeavouring to get more folks involved.
Love it
Thanks!
Love a good beatering cameo 😂 another great vid man!
My man!
Any advice getting "stuck" upside down on strong eddylines?... 🙃
Can you elaborate on what you mean? Without seeing you paddle, the best advice I can give for rolling in sticky situations is be patient and keep trying; all eddylines eventually run out of steam.
@@MatthewBrookKayaking that's EXACTLY the answer. It's the calming down/patience thing that sometimes gets me. Thank you for replying, 🙂 I'm guessing you can "feel" when the roll might be hindered a bit and to just calm down (easier said, lol).
@@tag5504 well, I'm glad you find it helpful. Over time you develop a feeling for whether things are working or not, but often it's just a case of allowing yourself to focus and reset.
Very helpful what kayak are you using
Thanks. This is a small Pyranha Ripper.
@@MatthewBrookKayaking thanks would suit me fine
Hi looking for a small and short river runner.I'm 5ft 5 and 8 1/2 stone and old returning to kayaking many thanks
@@victorthomas4897 The small Ripper is a phenomenal boat, but if you're looking for something both small and short in length, I'd suggest perhaps trying the small Dagger Axiom or small Jackson Antix. There are plenty of options out there, but the best thing to do is try boats for yourself and see what you find comfortable.
