Eric Jackson's Winning run for FIBARK Boatercross in Ringer
Переглядів 3817 місяців тому
Finally I got to race the Ringer! My first race in this boat. I won every round and a big part of that was the speed of the boat, how dry the bow is in the waves, how quick it accelerates, and how easy it is to paddle, of course. I am pretty good at this kind of racing, too, which never hurts! :) EJ. #lightweightkayaks #apexwatercraft #gofaster #ericjackson

    This happened to me my first couple of times out to the point of exhaustion. The harder I tried to get my kayak not to turn left, the harder it continued to turn left. If I begin to turn a direction that I don't want to turn, should I correct it by paddling on the inside of the turn I want it to make? That is, if I start turning hard left, should I start paddling on the right?

I remember first reading your posts on Rec.Boats.Paddle, several boat brands ago, with you writing about working on Wavesport kayaks and now several decades later, you have yet another kayak brand. And I thought Corran had swapped brands often! ;-) All fun aside, great to see you not only enjoy kayaking but excel at it as well!

    Hey EJ, been an admirer of you for years. But I often wonder, why nearly nobody talks about body mechanics in kayaking? Is it because they only know the technique but not the anatomical application? If paddlers understand the Anatomy of kayaking. It would make a huge difference in their learning curve. Been working for me for decades. And is how I teach it.
