I have a question about curved paddles: Is the power face always the concave face?

[malukitojr]

This wasn't even the video I was looking for but it's pretty well done!

Who is the manufacturer of paddle are you using?

[McCarlSpeed]

what kind of Kayak is he using?

[TheCrimsonIron]

@McCarlSpeed That is a Wilderness Systems Tsunami. Probably the Tsunami 140 or 145.

excellent video and perfectly explained!!!

[TrudyPatoody]

Excellent refresher for someone who's been out of kayaing for a while but going back into it.

[routier1642]

Excellent stuff. I just bought a kayak & we're figuring out how to keep it under control. This is a real help.

Thanks for saving me time learning these strokes...now I have to practice them!

[paddleme2]

Are you using a shorter paddle?

[zzsql]

Thanks! I'm buying my first kayak (dagger) today so this is useful.

This is the best kayak training video I can find on youtube. Brad paddles with Zen style which I think very suitable for long distance paddling. I just got an inflatable kayak and hope to adapt what Brad shows here to my much wider kayak paddling. (Inflatable kayaks are much wider) Thanks for sharing.

I'm a new paddler and have watched pretty much every video.  The REI videos are defintely the best out there!

[clafollett]

Great lesson! Very well explained and delivered. I'm looking forward to putting some of these tips to good use. Thanks!

If you have any notion of simple physics, you could figure all this out on your own, of course, it's good to watch this and understand why it works instead of spending time and risk flipping yourself over by doing it on your own.

I'm enjoying all of your kayaking video. I used to go with a friend with a sit-on-top kayak but today at my local sporting goods store Pelican 8' kayaks were on a huge sale, so I bought a sit-inside kayak and took it to the Maumee river (Ohio) already. I'll be kayaking every day from now on :) It would be great if you could post some video advice on what it takes to be able to handle class II and III or higher waters as that's where I'm headed as soon as I'm ready. Thanks!!
