Sweet technique mate. I've learnt a lot from your videos and am close to getting my paddling technique right. We train regularly at Emmarentia Dam in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thanks again!
Great commentary. regarding your hand positions, in an earlier video I watched you were explaining that the paddler creates boat wobble by crossing over the centre line, you were obviously crossing over a great deal in this video, what you achieved from this was a vertical paddle and as you described yourself closer to the boat.
I wonder if you could comment on the issue of proper pedal distance when setting up a new surf ski. I recently purchased my first racing ski, a Stellar SR. The dealer set the pedals using the conventional rule of thumb where my knee height is determined by one fist height bridging the gap between the bottom of my knee and the seat bucket. This nevertheless felt wrong to me, so increased my knee bend just a bit by moving the pedals back about 2 cm. This resulted in much less pressure on my tailbone, and felt much more natural, though I don't know if it results in any power loss. What's your opinion on this?
Jimmy indicates he starts off at 4:15 min/km pace (14.12 km/hr, 8.77 mph), then settles down to 4:20 min/km (13.85 km/hr, 8.6 mph) to 4:25 min/km (13.59 km/hr, 8.44 mph). This is for seven efforts of 2 km (1.2 miles) with two minutes rest in between each effort.

What was the average speed in the video. Thank you
It should be around 14-16 km/h maybe a little more
