  • Mr Draw good job and I intrested to kayak ....

  • Hi Ben, I just don't get what is the use if paddling sideways. Maybe I did not hear/understand well in the video, for my listening is my least developed skill in English(I'm not a native speaker, I'm Brazilian). Anyway, could you sum up what you've taught in this video in writing? This amateur novice kayaker here thanks you a lot for that!
