My first time kayaking was over the Memorial weekend iv never done it before. Thinking about going again. Which I guess my paddle was broken an my foot things was broken as well. This was a helpful video. Thank you.
I didn't realize that the major part of paddling technique is knowing how to adjust that particular manufacturer's paddle!
Lol
It's also important to not rotate your body and rely completely on your arms :-).
@@paddlefaster its also important to dip the whole paddel in and keep the arms to low
Wow that looks like such a wonderful place!
This is an awesome simple video on paddling. Thank you for the advice I found this advice to be very helpful. I am more of a high angle paddler but this video is still very helpful as your advice applies to all types of paddling.
this is an advertising video, that's all it is. Nothing useful in terms of instruction.
Thank you! Very helpful! I have never kayaked before and plan on it soon. One suggestion - for us "new guys" defining the word "feather" as used in this application and the word "ferrule" would help. I looked them up, but many people might not. Again - big thanks! Your demonstration is great!
Excellent! Now I know the grip and some techniques!!!

This was helpful! Thank you!!
I’ve came here because I’ve invested in kayaks for me and my 3 girls. I am glad that I watched this video
Great! Lots more tips to come this season... stay tuned!
Been paddling a long time myself my view is America Ford Chevrolet feather don't settle just have fun and paddle
Can you tell me where this was filmed? The river looks so nice!
Looks maybes like it's Deliverance County? Squeal piggeh!
I use 15 degree feathered angle. The strait paddle with rotation gives me blisters.
An excellent video can I use this in my blog post ?? do you allow me to embed it?
You sure can!
@@PaddleTV thank you 😋
Dear friend,what kind of shoes you wear?
could u introduce" wing paddle vs euro paddle ,"plx
Good point! I haven't done any wing paddle videos.
Question.. Do you recommend using gloves when paddling, and what type?
I wouldn't say that I recommend gloves, but they're not a bad idea to prevent blisters. I've never worn gloves, aside from wetsuit gloves in freezing conditions, and so I couldn't tell you what the best glove would be for general paddling.
@@PaddleTV red
Open palm mitts are good.
people get injured paddling?
I'm always completely wet at the end of the day..... I'm definitely doing something wrong 😂
Honestly it feels nice if you're baking in the sun
Which kayak are you using?
looks like a current designs cypress
My Werner is in 2 pieces.
Hopefully it was designed that way!
@@PaddleTV yes
If you're looking for a video about how to do a proper forward stroke, here's the link th-cam.com/video/F2fGKNFEURw/w-d-xo.html
This is another video I disagree with the technique. One should use the whole body to push the kayak forward, not your shoulders and arms. The obliques and the back muscles are much stronger and are better for distance. Putting too much pressure on the shoulder will lead to injury.
I think this is the video you were looking for, which talks about actual paddling technique for the forward stroke: th-cam.com/video/F2fGKNFEURw/w-d-xo.html
No direction on how to actually use the paddle to steer... it makes a difference
This is more of an ad
this video has got to be the worse i have seen. he has it all wrong
That must be the reason why he gets paid to kayak
promo video
Does the way he mispronounces Aquabound bug the shit out of anyone else?
Terrible video - does not talk about the basics of paddling - the windup, catch and ..... go to REI's videos or dozens of others anything but this.
Ha! Don't beat around the bush, ok? :) I think this is the video you were looking for, which talks about 'the proper forward stroke'. Hope you like it better. th-cam.com/video/F2fGKNFEURw/w-d-xo.html
Wtf dude thats not the correct way to paddle. Lean the correct way how to paddle then start teaching
!!!
Madis New b😆😚🇸🇦🇸🇹🇸🇿🇷🇺🇸🇿
Madis he's been doing it for 25 yrs, and he's a certified aca instructor. So basically, shut it.
Agreed. No core rotation, all arms, no leg work, "lilly dipping" the paddle, you shouldn't twist your wrist ever. Terrible form.
@@SandyWalsh where can I watch the proffesionsals? This guy paddles like Anakin Skywalker fighting from the low ground.
@@avi3018 Ivan Lawler is the best coach I've seen. This is a long video but the explaination of mechanics are incredible. After years of paddling, watching this video made the biggest improvement for me. th-cam.com/video/VqXIF4ToUcE/w-d-xo.html
dude you talk a lot paddle some
