Got lucky to have enough water for a run on the saint on 8/11/2022. Paddlers gage was about 0 maybe -1. Solo lap down in my first white water canoe went super well stoked to get out there more.
Your paddling is very good. I don't see much edge control though when side surfing or peeling out, is that harder to do in a canoe? Surprised you didn't flip a few times when the water pooled over your upstream edge. Great video and very instructive otherwise. This is not a critique just a curiosity thing.
I had zero edge control in this video! The probe is a pretty forgiven boat. I’m still learning edge control. I have a better handle on it but still trying to master! The water was low as well so not much current. At higher levels it probably would have flipped me. Thanks for watching!
Ya definitely got some skills. Good on ya. Love your upstream work. Bang on !
Thanks! I can’t wait to get my surfing on the new boat dialed in.

That's great you don't force it . Let the current be your guide to a point. Great control with minimal movement.
To kind! Thank you!
Took my Probe 12 for its first run recently, but on the James. Not exactly white water!
Need to get outfitted and bring it to the Saint!
It's completely outfitted...may have to do that sometime! @@paddlingjourney1450

Get a boat and let’s send some gnar!
