“I like to fine-tune every paddling movement to maximize effectiveness. To do that I have to focus on the application of my stroke, the impact on the water, the amount of energy I need to apply to achieve the required result. I experiment to maximize the movement of the kayak while minimizing the disturbance to the water, and minimizing the effort I make. “As we are all truly different
shapes and sizes, and we have a huge variety of equipment to choose from,
we have to learn to process the information and fine-tune from inside,
rather than to all try to fit into the same mold. In my video series I
offer options rather than definitive solutions. I offer a range of
alternative blade positions rather than a single model, and a variety of
equipment options. I try to explain the effect of each component of a
stroke and suggest ways you can blend strokes rather than always
completing full strokes. I explain why some strokes work better in certain
conditions than in others. What I cover is a good grounding from which to
focus on your own performance. When you understand the principles you’ll
be able to continue to make significant improvements to your performance
from the inside. |
