You’re like a philosopher Paulo, I love how you explain things, my Greenland paddle is on the way and I will be watching many of your videos over and over thx so much.
One of the most inspiring kayak-channels ever seen! Been seakayakin for the last 15-20 years, but DWTS’videos always encourage me to improve my technique further. DWTS calm voice, and filosofy about man belongs to nature stands in great contrast to other channels. Lookin forward to next video. Greetings from the west coast of Norway #selfpropelled
Paulo doesn't seem to advocate the low brace rolls i.e. storm roll for one. You don't have to flip your hands into a high brace in order to roll. Also, Paulo's anchor hand on the side scull does the fandango (around 4:20). I recommend keeping the back of your hand pinned to your vest to keep your blade as horizontal as possible. I'm just a paddler for fun, not money. 🥳
This is the best kayak TH-cam channels out there that includes harmony and relaxation combined with paddling! I'm not sure when he will upload anything new in here, but that's not as important as that he continues to do what he wants to do and share with us, in my opinion. Thank you again Paulo!
Really enjoy your videos Paulo. Superb content and delivered in such a relaxed style that it inspires confidence. I downloaded your mini course and found so much useful information, so thanks very much.
The length of the Greenland paddle you see me use in most of my videos is 87” or 220cm. However, it’s crucial to note that the ideal paddle length for you may be different. I first consider the loom length, which is determined by how far apart you want your hands to be. That will depend on your preference, but mostly on how wide your shoulders are, and also the width of your kayak if it’s on the wide side. Next I would add the length of the blade you want. Most paddles have blades that are about 33.5 in. or 85 cm. If you like a faster cadence, you will want to go with a shorter blade, and for a higher cadence, you want to get a longer blade. The paddle I’m using most of the time these days has a blade that is 37 in. or 94 cm. It provides a slower cadence, and more tension on the muscles.
No way, I was a kayaker all my life but I still ended up swimming once or twice, I was I thought a %100 roller but the sea can overcome all your confidence and show you that you are not yes not immune from cacking it. I’ve never used a Greenland paddle just a slim sea paddle I made, the only tech side I put into it was to oval the looms so I could feel the blade angles by instinct not looking.

Paulo, Awesome training, thanks for doing what you do. John

Good content. Very good instruction. I like the practice with a spotter. Two thumbs up 👍 👍
Very good and useful information! Congratulations on filming!
Thank you sweet Paulo.
Enjoy the cadence of content delivery
Appreciated !
Can you share the Specs of your kayak and assume a preference by you after x years
Great videography and editing, Paolo! "We are all between swims" actually means, "we are all dancing with the sea."
wow! thad paddle is quite flexible ! In the initial slow motion images.
Pretty sure that is a "rolling shutter" effect, not actual bending.
Hello Paulo I am trying to request your wearing the kayak video, is this still available please?
Hello! Can you use a tandem kayak alone for sea kayaking?
Always a pleasure to watch... Looks a lovely area to paddle... Where is that?

Hello Paulo... I have one question. How long is your greenland paddle ?
The length of the Greenland paddle you see me use in most of my videos is 87” or 220cm.

Is this also possible with a fully loaded kayak?
It works very well with a loaded kayak.
@@yannleroch1760 Yes, If you have a good fit with it.
Have any of the questions posed here been answered?
Another rerun. Don’t you do any new content anymore?
It’s called a deep water support stroke
Now I fear this would break my ribs
I would be drowning, just touching the water 😅
PS, I’m an aikidoka (Ni Dan)
No no no I don’t want to,l won’t pay for anything
