  • destroy all commercials!

  • Emphasis should really be put on low braces for beginning. High braces are really a last resort before sculling or rolling. Also high braces probably put your shoulders in increased danger than low braces. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

  • Why are people giving her videos crap when she is teaching beginners about the basics of the sport? Who cares if you know how to paddle out of something, a new person might not. I, for one, think this video is awesome. You can do it like a Bear or a Monkey!

  • May I get One...:)

  • No offense, but generally if you are only tipping by that much you can just paddle out of it, I know from experience. Generally, lowbarace is for going through pillow waves since it helps to keep your boat flat, and a high Is for when you are beyond ninety degrees.

  • I love to see you practice kayaking

  • expert village has more videos than this has views

  • @newlander32 I can tell you don't kayak 'cause you spell it wrong xP

  • @rep353 No emphasis whatsoever is necessary. People paddle the way they are comfortable.
