By far one of the best channels I have found for kayaking. To slow down stroke rate should you slow down the whole exit and put the paddle in the water for longer or do you do an exit at the same speed but just slow down / pause in the setup
@thopertube5972 I appreciate that!!! To slowdown the stroke you have 2 ways, one is a longer stroke with more reach or exiting later - and the other option is a longer in the air with the setup/recovery phase.
Lots of words to get the point across on this one. Good to show the fact that the boat goes fastest when the blade is not in the H20. Keep up the work.
Thanks for the usefull information, one topic that there is not so much information is respiration techniques,nasal vs mouth respiration, maybe that could be a future topic, Thanks !
Thank you so much for this - I often have the problem of rating up my stroke in the OC and going too slow in rate in my surf ski. So good to know the good target range for both (OC - 50 to 60 Strokes PM, Surfski - 80 to 90 Strokes PM).
Very informative video. I've been flying in the dark with my stroke rate on a surfski. I sort of look at the bow and wait to see it settle down before I take the next stroke. I really don't have any idea what my stroke rate is
Getting a garmin setup to track stroke rate is worth the investment! I'm on a budget so I usually grab a Garmin Fenix 3 off Ebay for 70-90$. Newer models have advanced features but for the bare minimum in stroke data it works flawless. The snippets with the stroke rate are from the watch tracking app.
Is there an app that tracks stroke rate? I’m a newbie but definitely want to see stroke rate displayed when I get my sea kayak for fast fitness paddling. You mention Garmin-does that require a sensor on the paddle? I see apps like CrewNerd claim to give you stroke rate by just using an iPhone or Apple Watch. What’s the latest? Thanks.
How about info on how to increase rate without ultimately rushing it, especially the catch and exits. I am naturally a low stroke rate paddler when paddling same speed as most around me. Focusing now on quicker exits without rushing, and resultant shortening of, catch. Typical marathon race pace of 80 strokes per minute. I use a live cadence sensor. A great skill for working on this. not a young fella
Great topic! I'll jot it down to discuss. Marathon canoes operate a little different than the longer vessels for the ocean. The goal is to create lift with the shorter boats so how you achieve speed and allocate energy is a bit different! Top end oc1 racers pushing beyond 7mph don't have rates at or above 70 even since the boat doesn't respond as well.

Your videos are so good... Love the way you break it down with excellent explanations
Thanks for the kind words! Lots of practice explaining movement and it's always fun to find phrasing to reach more people

I assume you are joking because the exact opposite is true. As soon as the paddle leaves the water the boat is slowing down.
No Joking-- Very Serious --Ahh you must study the velocity curve Grasshopper. Good Glide to you my friend!
Awesome info! Thank you!!
Thanks for checking out the video!!! Hope it helps!

That is a great topic!!! I wrote it down and it will be a future video.

Very easy to do both of those things! With ski if it is hard to hit that mark going shorter paddle/smaller blade pays dividends.
@@K2NOPS I’ve moved to a shorter paddle for ski and it has made it easier for sure!

What do you use as a cadence sensor? Thanks.

@@waverideraus4882 Thank you! That’s what I’ve been looking for. Do you like the Vaaka analytics?
@@tommyrq180 i only use it for live readouts to monitor my rate in real time.
