This is what I needed... very good trick

paddle should exit the water much quicker at the hip not all the way back. Just adds drag

So much of this paddling technique is excellent....but the paddling erg encourages one bad technique that we don't want in the dragon boat. Notice that Alex' top hand is coming down to the gunnel instead of staying above her heart level. This is tied to her counter-rotation and she finishes the stroke with her chest facing outside the boat: she should finish with her shoulders square to the boat, chest facing forward. The result is a paddle blade too far back with the power face looking to the sky. While this technique is great when pulling a rope on an erg, it is a big no-no in the dragon boat. Your paddle should enter at a +45 degree angle, and exit not later than a -45 degree angle. Any further back means you are lifting water which doesn't provide forward power - it causes the boat to sink or bob on each stroke. Also, it means the paddler is doing unnecessary lifting which will tire the paddler out. So much of this series of videos is technically excellent - except the demos that show the top hand hitting the gunnel and paddle ending up flat at the exit. If you're going to practice on an erg, don't optimize your stroke for the erg, concentrate on the technique needed in the boat. (But, if you're trying to get a great erg score for a time trial, optimize for the erg on that occasion only. :D )

Great 👍

Sir pls send measurement dragon boat steering paddle

is she sitting the whole time on her both buttocks? It tends me lift one buttock from seat when doing the movement while leaning a bit from boat.

Can you give me all the subtitle , please ?

What do you call the machine that she is using

i love this, however, I find with our stools etc, there is a transition between that and being in the boat..Take where the feet are etc...in relation to how we have to sit at the pool.....so it is rather another learning/conditioning to get into being in the boat, vrs being at the pool.(again leg and arm positions) .would be nice, but, with what we have, we do our best!:)

On a boat wouldn't you catch the water if you exit this way

why don't any of the competitive dragon boaters do this during race?

Matt, your Exit stage is already Negative - you should use your extra exit to Recover right away hence, less effort, energy and dragging the glide...👍😉😜

Why does she pause halfway through the recovery?

Does the VA have this machine in Phase3

Ok! I'll practice this A stance n technique

Isnt she taking the stroke too far back?

that was great - thank you for sharing!

Great video Scott! Sharing this with the team!
