Hi! I’m a fan of the hurricane canoe. I like sitting on top rather than inside. It’s a good fit for my size also.

Thank you for leaving your comment. I think you answered your own question when you say your right side is technically better and your left is stronger. Strength sometimes mean we muscle too much and are not using technique, hence, going too far back and flipping up the water at the exit rather than using the end of the resistance in the stroke (usually not past the hip with the blade mostly straight up and down) to get out of the water. My suggestion is to take note of how far back you go on the right and the position of your blade at that time and transfer this knowledge to your left side. Let me know if this helps!

Thanks for stopping by and the feedback.

Thanks Paula! Truly one of my favorites. I have used it on the erg, OC and DB! Let me know how it goes if you try it with your crew!

Nice to hear it makes sense!

You are welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for leaving a comment!

Greetings! I’m so happy to hear you find these helpful, thanks for letting me know.

You bet! I use it in the warm up to get the body primed for rotation. Let me know how it goes!!

Hi! I’d love to know the formula you are referring to as I am not familiar with it by your language. Can you share details with us all?

Years ago if you wanted to estimate your max heart rate rather than test yourself you might be told to use 220 minus your age. That formula was so so at best for most people and for active older people could be way off. In my case I’d guess it is off by about by about 23-24 bpm. That’s a big error. If I instead tested it, and also observed my resting heart rate I could then calculate my “heart rate reserve.” Then I can calculate my training zones based on the percentage of the reserve. (Karvonen formula).

For those of you interested in The Heart Rate Zone Calculator, this is the one I use as I use a Garmin monitor: Use this an ESTIMATE. Everyone is different so use the zone indicators as a guide but be your own judge. The lower the resting heart rate, the lower the HRZ. The only truly accurate evaluation is a V02Max test. Women: 210 - (1/2 of your age) - (.05 x your body weight) Men: 210 - (1/2 of your age) - (.05 x your body weight) +4 Zone 1: Effort: very easy Target heart rate: 50% - 60% of max heart rate Duration: RPE 15, used in warm up, cool down and active recovery Zone 2: Effort: easy Target heart rate: 60% - 70% of max heart rate Duration: RPE 16+, consider this training for a 2000M race Zone 3: Effort: moderate Target heart rate: 70% - 80% of max heart rate Duration: RPE 17+, consider this a 1000M race Zone 4: Effort: hard Target heart rate: 80% - 90% of max heart rate Duration: RPE 18+, consider this a 500M race Zone 5: Effort: very hard Target heart rate: 90% - 100% of max heart rate Duration: RPE 19+, consider this a 200M race, starts, finishes, powers and turns

Glad you enjoyed it, you’re welcome.

No, but great ideas!

Hi there! I got there before they changed the access but you can bring your own vessels. Now it’s a shuttle service only to the lake I believe. Not sure how they transport crafts or people. Sorry.

Haha, let me know how it goes! 🤞

Hi Carly! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment, I appreciate it. I love that you take on new perspectives. An open mind helps when coaching!

Hi there! Not a specialist in adapter equipment so I welcome the education. Others may appreciated it also. Can you tell us: • How much farther forward • How does it being at this position change results Thank you!

Hi Matt! So good to hear from you. Love your feedback and the positioning of sitting forward that you mentioned. Bravo!

That is great to hear!! Thanks for posting. I appreciate knowing these tips help!

I am always told I don't lean and twist, but I feel as if I am 🤷🏽‍♂️

Right! I get it. However, it could be a coach just reminding the boat to rotate. But video doesn’t lie. Get someone to video while you paddle. Then you can see which part of the body needs to be activated; legs, glutes, etc.

Hi @Branjibelle! I have never used a seat pad that restricted my rotation. However, I have only ever used the approved neoprene dragon saddles so Im not familiar with other brands. If you get a lot of blisters I would say your seat pad is too restrictive., in my opinion.

Hi Cole! I like gunwhal leg forward and inside foot flat in the boat below the knee for stability in the stroke I coach. Bottom line; being able to land the body on the blade and pull yourself up with leg connection is what matters!

Hi Marlon! I purchased mine from Amazon. Try this link: www.amazon.com/FINIS-1-05-120-Tempo-Trainer-Pro/dp/B005TVYVI2

Session was great! How are you doing?

@@dragonboatcoach very well. We are also doing lots of base building.

VERY cold! No huli that day :)

Thank you! Let me know how it works out for you :)

@@dragonboatcoach I had been doing dragonboat for abt 20 years, i am a strong believer that we should involve and utilize our biggest body part ( the torso ) ( the core ) to the execution of the stroke.

@@leekuanyew6219 Absolutely!

@@dragonboatcoach unfortunately, its not easy to relate this to our team mate, do u have a email where i can send u a clip of our recent training, the stroke are just way too short, and that is our LONG. :(

@@leekuanyew6219 Im not too sure what you're asking but please email me and we can discuss! cheryl@cherylrooseconsulting.ca

Thanks for watching and you are welcome! Hope it helps :)

Hi Diane! Thanks for the comment, it is something worth mentioning in the video...Good question. I am working to keep my wrist completely stable so the "work"stays in the shoulder not the wrist.

Training in an OC for dragon boat instantly reveals your weaknesses in any aspect of your stroke. Your bad technique can "hide" in a drain boat, but not in an OC.

Hi Penelopa! I think Lehmann answered the purpose of OC1 training for dragon boaters perfectly. I created these videos for those of us who train solo on our OC and then paddle dragon boat.These are the exact same drills I coach on the dragon boat. The blade mechanics (what our paddle does in the water) are the same on all vessels. But you are correct that how we sit on each vessel varies. Thats when we change body mechanics to adjust.

@@dragonboatcoach can I share some of your videos on my dragon boat club’s fb/IG?? I would make sure to link your youtube channel within it! Im with Raleigh Dragon Boat Club

@@smithlady Hi Jessica! Thanks you for the interest. Please feel free to share the UA-cam links to your page. I would love to know feedback from the paddlers.And if there is something your group has a challenge with so I can make new videos :)

I notice you don’t;t grip the paddle with your thumb on your lower hand

Thats perfect! Glad to hear and thank you for stopping by :)
