I like when you do these kinds of videos. It helps me, help new people on the river. Helps me think/describe things in different ways

Kudos to those two for being open to filming and to learning. And kudos to you for recognizing that you needed to change/enhance your instruction method.

Nice! We’re shoveling snow here and watching rivers freeze, but it’s encouraging to see y’all on the water!

Hey Pete!! Great video!!
Curious. Could a person use a hanging stern draw to get closer the other side of the river, then give a power right stroke to get through the white to get to the main tongue, then boof the ledge?
I am still learning and may be missing something. But SUPER curious. I am not on that flow of river.
Is the river pushing downstream hard enough to require the repeated right strokes?
Just wanting feedback because my brain is starting to “get it”. And I want it to be right, and be thinking long term, not just one move.
