Not intended to show perfect technique, but rather to find out what can be improved...

  • Wow.... Not as bad as the first paddler in this series, but he certainly got my attention: - stroke is forced and contrived... this guy is dead set on the "straight-arm" thing... yikes! - if this guys stroke was any flatter he'd be scraping his knees with the paddle. The Lee Trevino of kayaking... - in the view from the rear he looks as if he's in a hallway sweeping the walls

    Check out ANY vid of a good kayaker for some idea's on technique. No offense intended.

  • Twist is good. Arms nice and straight, but maybe too straight. Try to have the paddle shaft VERTICAL when the blade goes into the water. Also focus on dropping the blade STRAIGHT down to the water once your arm is extended as the first bit of you stroke is in the air and should be in the water.
