Ethan, I have suffered that with this technique if it is not done correctly and I think it is because you do not accompany the lowering of the upper part of the body and you let the weight of the push fall on the elbow joint (of the upper arm) when inserting the paddle ). In this case epitrochleitis may appear. In sea with difficult conditions due to sea and wind, technique is also neglected at times (when the wave pushes you and you go off balance). When I feel the pressure on my arm I change my technique and stretch my upper arm a little more and insert the oar in rhythm with the hip turn to the other side to provide stability. something like Michael Booth would do in long distance... I already saw your training with him and how he corrected this... but save my elbow. I will however try to practice this a little more in inland waters. Thanks for the channel advice!
I think there is one key piece of information missing, that in order to paddle forward in this way, you need to have your legs' center of gravity evenly distributed. I am just starting my SUP adventure and when I lead the paddle, for example, from the left side, I have more pressure from my left leg on the board, which is why I do not move forward, but turn to the right. At the moment I have no idea how I can lead the paddle vertically, leaning a little to the left to evenly load both legs - this is impossible for me at the moment :)
loosen the grip on your forearm and realize that you DO NOT want to use your arms to pull yourself through the stroke is the single most important thing after you lerened how to do a straight stroke. Just try it, simply use the lower arm as a strut and and push the weight of your upper body "through" your forearm into the shaft, the lower arm just needs to "guide" the paddle. This tremendously reduces the stress and power required for each stroke.
Awesome video with great visuals! Thanks for the clear and well demonstrated instructions 🙌🏼
You bet 🤙🏼 thanks for watching! 😁
