Super well explained!! Looking forward to the bowstall/sternstall ones. Also would be great to see one on controlled spins on a surf wave, for those of us who can spin occasionally but know we're doing around 10 things wrong at any given time. :)
It amazes me ... I've watched these videos in the past ND they help ... but watching them again after some success with bow and stern stalls seems to help reinforce where I'm not quite doing it right... I have noticed there are times where the rotation seems almost effortless and others where it feels like I have to muscle it ... well back to the pool to try more..#GetingCloser
Matt, love what you do and your videos have helped my paddling greatly! You have a great short showing you doing cartwheels with no paddle and it says there is a tutorial video on your channel. I’ve looked several times but can’t find it. Could you link it here?!?!
Hi Jamie. Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry. That was probably misleading - the full tutorial is this one, but I'd be very happy to put together a tutorial on paddleless ones. In terms of what the body is doing, it's practically identical.
@@MatthewBrookKayaking that would be great! I tried doing a few with hand paddles today and it was pretty embarrassing. I can connect ends with a full paddle, but can't even get on the nose with bare hands or hand paddles. I'm sure I'm trying to use my arms/hands WAY too much!
you mentioned the 2 different types of boats at the start. I don't find initiation too bad in a slicey boat, but in a large size jackson, airhead etc I really struggle to get going. any suggestions on adapting?
Thanks for the question. Yeah, width and volume will make a big difference. Playing with how wide your initiation strokes are will have an impact, as will the amount of rotational momentum you build up using that first initiation stroke! Hope that's helpful.
Thank you. That's a great question. I don't know of any, but the principles of wave moves generally remain the same in the surf. But I will try to put something together in the future.
Thank you Matthew for sharing your expertise, great points about keeping your body neutral, I enjoy playboating with technique rather than muscle. looking for more videos by you. Where are you based? regards Duncan -Central Pennsylvania.
Thanks Duncan. Glad you have valued the content. I'm based on the south coast of England - consistently amazed and humbled that my videos are reaching so far afield!
I’m really struggling to get continuous cartwheels I get over and sort of stuck on the bow trying to rotate the body and falling in. Would a full slice boat help slow down the motion and get the body motion right before then getting it right in a playboat?
Thanks for the comment. Yes, a full-slice might help. But honestly, my instinct would always be to persevere (perhaps with the help of some coaching) rather than resorting to gear-changes. Have you tried filming yourself? That can often be really enlightening as a coaching tool.
Yeah, I get some fantastic coaching but, I don’t film myself very often. Mainly as I accidentally kicked my tripod in at inlet gate HPP and haven’t gotten around to replacing it. I may have a look at the full slice as a helpful tool and a fun boat. But, noted I’ll get filming again.
I'm about 5'8" and not very heavy at all - realistically I'm actually too small for the Delirious, or at the very bottom of the weight range, but it still works. Thanks for the question and enjoy the Delirious, if you get one.
Yeah, it's definitely about generating joy, but I usually find onlookers find it amusing too. And everyone was a non-boater at one point - no need to call them names for it!

Thank you so much. Great. I will add a video on spins to the workflow!
Thank you! Best instructional video I've seen for cartwheels! Can't wait for that bow stall and stern stall video!
Thank you so much! Bowstalls will be out this coming Wednesday. Sternstalls the week after.
As most have already mentioned, your explanation is great--thanks for the tutorial!
Pleasure. Glad you benefitted from it!
Great analysis, demonstration, and athleticism. Thank you for sharing this video!
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it helpful.

That's awesome! Glad to hear it's coming together for you! Keep it up.
Great stuff. Thank you a lot for the breakdown!
Absolute pleasure. It still humbles me that people are enjoying and benefitting from my old videos!

@@JamTagg I'll put something together.
@@MatthewBrookKayaking Awesome, can't wait to plan a lake day to focus on just that! (We don;t have much WW here in Indiana 😆

That was great Matthew!
Do you have have, or know or any instructional vids for playboat in the surf (ocean) moves?
Thank you. That's a great question. I don't know of any, but the principles of wave moves generally remain the same in the surf. But I will try to put something together in the future.

how tall are you? im thinking about buying a delirious. thanks

@@MatthewBrookKayaking Im 5'9'' and I see you very well on it so I think I will buy it, thanks!
Cartwheels are best done for the sheer joy of it, not to impress some nonboating assholes on the bank. THATS PERFECTION.
Yeah, it's definitely about generating joy, but I usually find onlookers find it amusing too. And everyone was a non-boater at one point - no need to call them names for it!
