      @@MatthewBrookKayaking One guy who is doing the flat water back loop into a front loop is Tomasz Czaplicki. I don't think he has any examples on his RUclips, but he's certainly got some videos of him doing it on his Insta.

    This is great. Thanks! Psyched to try this during my next flatwater session. Do these work on flatwater in your full slice, too?

    • @MatthewBrookKayaking
      @MatthewBrookKayaking  2 года назад +1

      Thank you Steve. Yes, they definitely work in a full slice too, but require more effort to achieve the same level of air!

    Hi Matt, great video, really starting to understand the snap. Just one thing, when I tried I noticed I come nearly all the way around but my paddle gets stuck behind me. And tips on the last bit with the second blade, good work at world's btw, some tricky names to pronounce

    • @MatthewBrookKayaking
      @MatthewBrookKayaking  2 года назад

      Hi William. Glad to hear you're having fun experimenting with it. In terms of tips, I think I'd have to see you paddle to give anything accurate. Feel free to message the Matthew Brook Coaching Facebook page. Also, thanks for the compliment, but it's owed to other people! I'm not actually commentating at Worlds - couldn't get time off work in the end.

    Great video. Thanks! Do you think this could be done in a half-slice on flat water?

    • @MatthewBrookKayaking
      @MatthewBrookKayaking  2 года назад

      Thanks Tim. It can certainly be done, but don't expect to achieve the same amount of air as you would in a playboat/full-slice.

      @@MatthewBrookKayaking Thanks Matthew. The reason I ask is that if it can be done, then I can train it and then when I try it on the river, I’m not starting from scratch.

    • @MatthewBrookKayaking
      @MatthewBrookKayaking  2 года назад +1

      Well done Christopher. Keep trying and you'll get there. Another thing that can help with this is being able to perform a low brace that starts in the rear quadrant of the boat and sweeps to the front. Have fun practising!

      @@MatthewBrookKayaking yea I had to slow down my footage. It's close.. but very flat ... a sweeping brace at like 3/4 would likely seal the deal

  • @simonwyndham
    @simonwyndham 2 года назад +1

    Here are my attempts! I did try on a session before these but ended up doing back deck rolls. I'm not sure if I've got it totally in these examples since I think my boat may go too vertical on the nose through the move(?), but I think it's progressing. One of the things that is helping me though is to think of the first part like an over vertical beginning to a split wheel (helps me visualise using the paddle for support) and making sure pressure is maintained out to the side as the rotation starts to happen. Not sure if any of that makes sense, or how accurate my move is, but it's fun to practice!
