One cool trick I saw in a Eric Jackson video that works for me is paddling just slightly forward when whe stern is under water and giving it some "diving time" so to speak. After one or two strokes you can then give it all you have and paddle forward. This helped me get vert. in my freestyle kayak. I would love a tutorial / showcase on some downriver moves that are a bit out of the box like your chill surf shown in the intro :)
That's a great tip. Would definitely help with avoiding burnout on this trick. As to the downriver moves, I have some bits in the pipeline, but I've also already put out a top 5 wave party tricks - it's in the tutorials playlist.
I think I have fallen into the camp of too much crunch forward and not enough heel drive down! gonna try to tweak my technique some more and get vertical 🤙
Missed your tutorial videos! Thank you. I learned everything almost I can do in kayaking from your videos.
Wow! I don't really know what to say to that! Thank you so much.
