This is an incredible lesson. With this technique you can have much more fun, with less wear and tear and greater performance. Cheers from Brazil

just about to start paddleing for the first time and stumbled across this video and this really helped just explain the form and what you should be feeling in each stroke. thank you so much its very helpful!!

Kia Ora . Im so happy i come across this. Im a newbie to Waka Ama, 3month max. I like how you say, learn to move the body rather then your arms. I will try this technique at training tonight. I feel even after 3months of paddling my forearms and shoulders ache after coming of the water. Im powering my arms and not moving the body much. Good to see other techniques, might pass on to my coach lol

I love the tip to sit further up. I found myself trying to make sure I was sitting further forward so I could get push in the foot rests. As I kept paddling I kept sliding further back in my seat so had to keep adjusting forward. It’s just tough trying to get all the parts together and still stay in synch with the other five guys LOL! I’m only have about 60 miles under my belt so I’m glad I found this video before I start developing some bad habits. Thanks!

Great instruction, and simple. Mahalo.

My coach from the Lanikai Canoe Club sent this out to the Novice Bs. So helpful, thank you !

Great lesson! I used to dive forward with my chest the way your students did. I learned better in a workshop, but have lost the sitting up aspect - I noticed this in practice today and want to reincorporate it into my stroke now that I’m rotating smoothly and not rocking the boat.

Aloha and mahalo from Seattle!

As my excellent coach says "Put paddle in water and pull" I get so up i my head that I can barely do that sometimes!

Thank you for probably the simplest yet most comprehensive explanation of a paddling stroke I’ve seen. I’ve been helming/coaching at a start up dragon boat club and “pits to gunnels” is about to be tried out as a prompt!

That elbow break at the bottom arm at the end of the stroke is something I see in so many OC paddlers. As you said it seems to come about because the paddler is "arming" it to some degree at the end of the stroke.

Thank you! This is what I like. Engaging the core and it's easier to translate to the lower body and legs too. I trained cleaning stalls and tossing loads.

[Peponapis]

Can someone explain what he means at 0:52 and 1:58? I thought he meant don't bend the elbow to recover (to get the paddle out), and he doesn't bend it each time he is explaining that technique. But when he isn't focused on that, his bottom elbow is bending to recover. Example 4:48.

The day after my hardest paddling days, my legs are the most sore 🤙

[ur_cringe]

is it normal for your bottom wrist to touch the water or submerged

[Lehmann]

I think that top arm chicken wing comes from Tupu King. You can see it in the Wake Ama 2021 500meter sprint. Clearly its not a problem for him but it would be for we mere mortals!

Trying to overcome a lifetime of instincts is difficult. Difficult to teach your body to NOT paddle with your arms. Instead, think of paddling as a full-body exercise like a muscle-up or deadlift while sitting.
