Excellent video on proper form. It's so hard for me to Envision the proper angle of the catch as I'm paddling. Seeing it here helps me Envision proper alignment of my arms, shoulders Etc.

Nice vid but the wording is quite misleading, at least when watched by a beginner: you don't pull the water back. Never ever. You plant the blade firmly in the water, you "lock it" it in and you pull the ski forward towards the paddle. (And you push it with your foot) Imagine you are putting your paddle into mud or concrete. That's how a proper catch should feel like. If you watch a slow motion vid of a good paddler you will notice that the paddle doesn't move a singe cm/inch through the water. The ski (or outrigger canoe) is moving forward, not the paddle back ward. Again: your motion looks great, it's just the wording ;-)

This is such a beautiful view of a super clean stroke. Question though: I see the blade entering the water at an angle greater than 90 degrees, whereas I was always under the impression that the blade should enter the water perpendicular to the water/boat. Thoughts on this? Is it just simply individual stroke dynamics?

Could you please tell me the width and depth of the V10 Sport's seat?🙏

I was tought its 60% push and 40% pull. Or even 70%. But this video is saying dont push?

And see Florian Mirus, below - you never pull water back BUT also - the blade does absolutely move Just not backwards.

And make sure your jock strap's not dangling in the water.. 😂😂

Do not copy! Not much there that he's doing right!

Why are you showing an explanatory video about rowing while disregarding the safety rules, why is the rower not wearing a life jacket ?!, why is the strap for connecting the paddle to the boat not used ?!, why is the strap for connecting the boat to the rower not being used ?!
