You can stand in front of a mirror with your paddle, and practice pull and push at the same time.. And remember always think of your technique, never stop making it better. And also don't get depressed if it sometimes doesn't work out for you.. The guy who trains more but with a poor technique will always be in better shape and more fit then the guy with the perfect technique that doesn't train.. Remember to get on that water no matter how bad your technique is! you will get it eventually :)
slice your blade out of the water on the narrow edge rather then scooping the paddle out and that should fix the shower problem. Best advice is take a lesson or two. You learn a whole lot that way. (this from a whitewater boater)
Michael Grishman Rotate your torso to the point where the center of your chest is pointing in the direction that you are rotated in ( the wind up) raise your off hand ( hand furthers from water ) and help the paddle get to the other side of the boat.

OK, seems I do the right paddle stroke quite well. Now i must google the left paddle stroke...:)

No comen good is kayak💃💃💃💃💃
You've gotta keep your hands up! and lean on your stroke by tilting your boat to your pulling side. just my two cents.
I am a newbie and wonder how to avoid scooping up lots of water and bringing it into the boat and shower myself with every stroke? thanks!
