Breaking Up a Sea Lion Fight With Music
I've been learning how to play the ukulele and decided to take it out with me while paddle boarding earlier today. I came across two sea lions fighting over a spot on the barge. Music fixes everything :)

    No need to swap sides. Use a j or goon stroke.

    for beginners or older people. a shot rope with a loop at each end run one loop under the centre handle , thread 2nd loop through the first use second loop as a foot hold and use your leg to lift you . bingo bingo your back on the board easy peaze.

    @cristiconstantinescu9848 Год назад

    Awesome tips man! For me it doesn't work to look at the horizon or right in front, it feels like falling 😂 but instead, when I look down at the tip of the board I can connect with it and I balance perfectly. Pretty terrifying experience 😅 but I'll keep at it

  • @JourneyOfLight_ShamanOfMemory

    Watched quite a few SUP videos and found yours the most informative. Would be great to have more videos... Would you consider this? Thanks for sharing your info. ❤ Im learning SUP to help reduce my panic attacks. Breathing rapidly and tense bodies always knocks me of the board. However if I relax I feel I become one with the board and the ocean. I'm not a strong swimmer so tips on helping another who has fallen and struggling to get on would be great. Or how to navigate the swells in freak winds that go from 0 to 40km like we have here in Melbourne Australia.

    I have hip and lower back problems is there another way to stand up from kneeling? I don't have the power to get into the squat position. If so could you maybe make up a video as I found this one very helpful x

    • @SwinglerESZone
      @SwinglerESZone Год назад

      Hey Karen, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. This question might be best answered by your chiropractor. I know people have started from a sitting position since they can't kneel the whole time. However, sumo squatting to get back up is the safest way as your are using your thighs and calves to support your lower back.

  • @SwinglerESZone
    @SwinglerESZone 2 года назад

    Hey all, if you are learning to get back on it is always best to practice in calm waters like a pond, lake, or marina away from boats. If you are trying to do this out in the ocean with swells, hold onto your paddle. I know not everyone has ideal practicing areas, but like I said, always practice in a safe environment before tackling rougher terrain. Have fun!

  • @newlotusyoga1652
    @newlotusyoga1652 2 года назад

    I'm not a strong swimmer. So lesson number one is always wear your life jacket and not leave it pinned to the SUP thinking it will be there if you need it. I did have my ankle clip on because I figured if I fall in I'm just going to swim up to the board and get on. This would have worked if I didn't have a paddle in my hand. The reason I fell in in the first place was after trying to reach over for a special baseball cap that I was wearing which was quickly getting away from me after it fell in. The water was a bit wavey but nothing I hadn't been on before. Lesson number two for me would be be very aware of the activity and behavior of the waves. After seeing my hat drifting off, I don't think my paddle would have behaved any differently. Therefore I did not want to end up being "up schitt's creek without a paddle". As I was struggling to hold my paddle and the board to keep me afloat I was feeling rather panicked. That's lesson number three don't panic which is a little difficult to do when you're entering fight or flight and your dense body just wants to go under. That's when I learned lesson number four. If you're going to be away from the shore bring your partner. In this case if it wasn't for my wife I might have gone under. My wife relieved me of my paddle helped me to relax while she paralleled next to my board which was upside down by the way. On that note I'd like to see a video on how to flip your board over. I don't remember how we did it I think between the two of us, now that I had my other hand available to me, we managed to flip the board and then at that point I was able to crawl back on with my wife's assistant. In hindsight, I really believe I would have lost my paddle if I let go of it. I guess I should have done that if I was in a life or death situation. It would be interesting to see a video of somebody in the water trying to get back on a flipped board with the water being a little rough. I'm 60 years old yoga teacher and still have a lot of strength left and I just wanted to say strength has nothing to do with it. It's all about technique and above all staying CALM..... And wearing your damn life jacket if you're not a strong swimmer. FYI ... the incident happened not that far off the shore on a very large Lake called Lake Simcoe, in Ontario. The lake can be unpredictable at times and can go extremely deep in certain areas. Please be careful 🙏

    Thank you for a great video I really enjoyed it, I was just curious about the direction of the paddle, I have always held my paddle the way that you show, but recently I have seen photos and videos of people holding it the other way with the angle pointing away from you. Is this just a matter of preference or is there a correct way to hold the paddle?

    • @SwinglerESZone
      @SwinglerESZone 2 года назад

      The paddle is designed to help you glide across the water. When you flip it changes to scooping which will deplete your stamina much faster and throw you more off balance. Kayaks scoop water as they are lower to the ground and center of gravity. Remember when paddle boarding your goal is to glide across the water as efficiently as possible.

  • @martin.feuchtwanger
    @martin.feuchtwanger 2 года назад

    You use a low, wide forward sweep to turn, so why not also use a low, wide reverse sweep to "U turn"?

    • @SwinglerESZone
      @SwinglerESZone 2 года назад

      Good question! When you are doing a wide sweep (C-stroke) it's because you are still moving and redirecting the board without losing momentum. When you do a U-Turn you are at complete stop and by bringing the paddle close to your body you'll simply rotate the board from it's fulcrum point. It requires less energy. You can do the sweep if you want, but you'll also be moving the whole board rather than rotating it from a center point.

    Tossing your paddle aside while you get back on the board... A paddle typically floats just below the surface of the water not on top of it. Tossing the paddle might be okay if the water is calm like a lake. On any sort of dynamic water -- ocean, river -- a paddle -- particularly a black paddle like most of them are -- can be hard to find again if it ends up in the water. I would not let go of it in those circumstances. Ask me how I learned this lesson. :D If your paddle is black put a couple of bands of highly visible Gorilla Tape or duck tape on the blade. Waterproof the edges of the tape with a bit of Marine Goop or similar. It makes it easier to spot if it gets away on you although it will still be a challenge. Getting on the board with a life jacket... On inflatable SUPs the handles aren't embedded. They are straps which can be hard to grab when you are in the water. An easier way to get on a SUP -- hardboard or inflatable -- is to simply push the edge of the board closest to you down into the water. As the board tilts toward you press up against it and reach across to the handle or the far edge of the board whichever is easier. NOW lean forward with a bit of a kick and the board will flip back into place lifting you and your PFD up and on. Subtle trick that refines the technique you describe here. Happy paddling...

    • @SwinglerESZone
      @SwinglerESZone 2 года назад

      Excellent advice. You are correct if you are in turbulent water. I should have made it more clear that this advice was for people who are just starting and who tend to do so in a safe and calm place like marinas or ponds.

    72 years of age. Got on my brand new SUP board 2 days ago ...going back out today. I hurt my ribs trying to get back on the board so I'm going to let the ribs heal and start training myself again next week. Will still be on the board on knees. Cannot stand yet but that's ok. Only had it 2 days. I will keep on going. ❤️🌊🌊🌊☀️

    Excellent video thank you! I only saw this after my first SUP experience this evening which involved taking several splashes when trying to stand. I’m hoping your explanations will make it easier next time! I have very tight Achilles so can’t squat very low with flat feet .. which doesn’t seem to aid standing. I’m also 6’ so centre of gravity higher. Any extra tips please on maintaining balance when going to stand, and once stood?

    Well done Eddie! I’m a 61 year young female kayaker who had a strong urge to paddle board. I bought a SUP from Aldi. Yes, ALDI. It’s fantastic. Before I took to the lake, I watched this video 3 or 4 times. My plan that first day on the water was to just paddle my SUP around the lake on my knees. Instead, I did it all - knees, standing, wide turns, braking, U turn. So stinkin’ fun!! Thanks for making this sport easy to learn and a super fun first experience. I’m hooked!YOU ROCK❣️
