Video Analysis of Stroke Technique

Kanaka Stroke Technique using video analysis of Shell Va'a team racing in Tahiti.
I describe their visual technique and relate it to what we are teaching at Kanaka OCC.
Video clips are from Marathon va'a 2019 - REPLAY on youtube.
It's a great video of Marathon Va'a 2019 race in Tahiti
I have divided the stroke into 4 steps and describe what happens during each step.

0:19 Step 1 : Hinge
1:41 Step 2 : Catch
