Canoe Instruction
США
Добавлен 2 авг 2023
Canoe lessons, teaching progressions, strokes, and maneuvers.
Videos are prepared as a reference for instructors. Other students of canoeing should also find these helpful. The focus is on river/ whitewater canoeing. Progressions/ strokes, etc. might be modified for different styles of canoeing.
There is no one perfect way for teaching and canoeing in general. There have been many healthy debates around the campfire. Different approaches and civil disagreements are welcome. If you do something different, please add a comment.

Просмотров 905 месяцев назад
The rudder stroke is a steering stroke that minimally impacts momentum Catch - Start like a rudder in a sailboat or sea kayak. • The blade is behind you, thumb up - about a foot away from the canoe. In an ideal world the stroke would be directly behind you (like a true rudder which some canoes have). • Feels like a static stroke • Paddle can be horizontal or more vertical (In most cases its hor...

Excellent video. Captured our trip perfectly.
This was so nice to watch. Gentle flows, but awesome technique. Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Buena aventura 👍
this makes sense
back when I used to do solo whitewater canoe, I used these strokes to accelerate when I needed to, which was often
One way to remember which shoulder is that you want to make a head sandwhich- your head is between the shore line and the rope.
Jeff - Your demonstration is very good and I love it. Because you are in a whitewater canoe it does a good job emphasizing results. However for people who are new to canoeing, they probably will need to grasp the difference between solo white water canoes (which your show) and solo "other canoes". If they are paddling anything other than a whitewater canoe they will not get the same results you demonstrated and may think their mistakes make no difference to them.
Great comment Paul and thanks for point this out. I specifically used this boat for this demonstration because it shows this so dramatically. You won't see this in a straight keeled both unless it is heeled way over.
You are an amazing teacher, thanks for putting the time and effort into this. Awesome
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
Interesting to see you use the River-J / gooney for correction rather than a J. Although I guess that may be preferential in moving water?
Excellent demonstration as always. It really helps to see how the different strokes affect the canoe
what the name of that canoe ? very cool look and what lake is this ? Looks like one off the 15 highway
The canoe is a 20/20 from Millbrook Boats. Its only 29 lbs so it really fun to paddle. The lake is Soda Lake in Colorado.
@@CanoeInstruction-sx9lw I have the Old town PACK canoe 33 lbs... 11' 8" same idea...
Best film angles I’ve seen! I use the goonie (sp) stroke and I’m trying to figure out the J stroke and most videos don’t show what the blade is specifically doing, yours does! Thank you!
Under the upstream arm! I used it today in browns. Combined with that dynamic belay when possible really reduces how much stain is placed on the swimmer
Love your videos, please keep them coming. You showing technique in the living room sets you apart from others, very helpful
Thanks again, I am good with the J stroke and use it all the time like you said. Haven't tried the pitch Stroke (or seen it before) Will try it out first chance I get. Thanks for the super clear instruction as always! Cheers James
For good examples of what I refer to as the pitch, look at sprint canoe or slalom C-1 racers. What I was taught as the pitch, racers just call it a J. I've also heard it called a racing J. Enjoy!
@CanoeInstruction-sx9lw thanks, we have some of those at my local club but have been to the sessions yet will have a look.
Awesome work thank you! I have watched a load of videos on strokes and correction and not one has mentioned the blade angle for rudder control. Great explanation and clear demonstration. Will be trying it out in a day or 2. Thank you 😊
Let me know how it goes when you try it.
Just got back from the canoeing. It was really windy and we all went out tandem. I was in the stern and the rudder worked great to keep us on track. Makes a big difference rotating the T grip and chaging the angle. It's easy to remember as you kind of point thumb on the T grip the direction you need to turn. Thanks for the video i am really glad I saw it 😊.
Sculling draw, awesome. Sculling Pry = the close up of the blade on the carpet is the correct method, using the nonpower face for both slicing forward and back. However on the other views, careful, we don't change to power face when doing the sculling pry ; ) ; )
Thanks for the close look and feedback. One of the reasons I started this video project was to get feedback and making sure descriptions and demos were spot on. As soon as I can get some footage, I'll revise this. I'm also looking forward to getting on the water this weekend and explore using both faces. I scull a lot, so your comment gives me something to explore! I'd also appreciate your close look at my other videos and would welcome feedback or other descriptions you might have for describing and teaching.
really nice demo
Sick moves
Thank you! Just starting to learn to canoe and your videos are excellent. You cover the key strokes I need to learn in a simple and clear manner. Great work!
Glad to help!
Great, clear, and concise video. I see a lot folks having trouble with this
Thanks!
Great tips!!!!!
This land demonstration is especially effective.
Nice clean demonstrations.
I was told from slalom paddlers,that uper arm should be almost straight?
Thanks for your comment. Could you elaborate on straight arm?
just want understand from Version 1,2016 Canoe Kayak Canada and Coaching Association of Canada about cross-bow draw .@@CanoeInstruction-sx9lw
