- Day 2 and we move to the top end of the leg to try and maximise the transition of force, generated from the feet, through to the upper body. A brief description of the problems we commonly see and hopefully some ideas as to how we may address them.
Wow, I have paddled flatwater kayaks for over 20 years and I still find this series absolutely instrumental! A true masterclass, thank you, very much appreciated!
Hi Ian, revisiting your workshops two years later. I'll check and see if this is answered elsewhere in the comments or in a video that you've created but thank you so much for creating these fantastic resources. This might be a dumb question but is there a difference between Paddling when your touring and Paddling when you're racing?
why are socks bad
I've not been sitting in a boat since childhood (for 20 years or so). Now you described my errors and it's like you gave me freedom) With such clear and crystal understanding of technique I begin to think about Tokyo.
Thank you sir , that for the methods you have adopted. Really it was realistic and taught from the bottom of your heart. I am 54 and still I am interested to paddle kayak. I could have used this valuable technique at the time I baggage Gold and Silver medals in championship events. Apart from that won 80km kayaking marathon and stood 3rd place. Frankly speaking I didn't know all this ways and idea's to paddle ,only a few which I learnt 32 years before. Now also I am very much interested learn , help and complete .
My butt is pretty fixed in my boat. But I guess that I can improve my technique if I change my thinking.
Please keep going, finding these really useful. Can’t wait to see the benefit on the water.
sends pic of gritty socks* hehehe
Very useful, thanks!
Hello Ivan. I watched this video and some of your others a couple years ago. I paddle a semi-elite surf ski (NELO 550 and EPIC V 12) and have been working two years on trying to make my leg drive the bulk of the power in my stroke. This is somewhat instinctive to me since I have an elite rowing background. But I notice that very few elite surf ski paddlers do what I do. (Both of their knees seem to be bent all the time.) I lock my drive leg down tight at the end of the leg drive (my knee is locked). I find it seems to improve my stability with a solid bit of weight low down in the ski. Am I missing something? Also, in accordance with some instruction by Oscar Chalupsky, I am paddling with by upper arm elbow much lower than my shoulder so that I focus on torso twist and resist the tendency to push out with my upper arm. My upper hand is about chin or mouth level and never as high as eye level. After my release I do have to extend that upper arm a little for the catch. Again, am I missing something here?
Loving the series of videos. Many thanks
Terrific work, thank you. Adding these to my daily routine and hoping to feel the benefit on the water. More please.
Thanks Ivan, very helpful , great to get ideas etc from someone who's "been there" at such a high level. Please keep the videos coming .
Thank you Ivan, Just discovered your video series.I found this video helpful. I appreciate you taking your time to do this.
Thank you! These videos and tips are amazing. I like the thought of spilling energy. I imagine my energy is like a dropped quart of milk on the floor right now! Can't wait to direct it like a fire-hose of forward momentum with your tips!!!
Thanks Ivan! So good to see all the off water drills to aid better form in the boat 👏👏👏 Love the concept of power 'spillage' from that lateral weight shift.
Great stuff Ivan. My lesson with you last summer at the Gorge was a huge benefit for my technique. These lessons are reinforcing and building on what you taught me then. Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks Ivan.
Fantastic - keep them coming.
Wow...this is Golden! Thank you!!!
