A paddle through some Vancouver history from Jericho to False Creek to Stanley Park
This video is an extension of my previous video "Sea Kayaking from Jericho Beach to False Creek to Stanley Park during the Atmospheric River". It gives an historical look at the places I passed along my way using images dating back to the late 1800's and films from the Vancouver Archives, other websites, and Facebook. It is intended for educational purposes.

Revisiting my old stomping grounds with an urban exploration of Vancouver in October. It's been quite some time since I've lived and paddled downtown. Reminds me of all the Ecomarine days taking tourists sea kayaking from Granville Island. Fun times! The Granville Bridge opened in 1954 btw. Typo.

Greenland Rolling Practice Spring 2024
Переглядів 6856 місяців тому
I always tell my students that rolling is a "use it or lose it" skill. That was VERY evident on my first day out in my Greenland Kayak this year as I tried a bunch of rolls that I hadn't done since last summer. No wet exits but my technique and form are out of shape and need work. Practice practice practice! :-) For those interested in the full list of 35 Greenland Championship maneuvers visit ...

Greenland Kayak Rolling Clinic with James Manke

Another great Rolling Clinic at Jericho with James Manke. We were teaching Kayak Outfitting ("wear your kayak like a boot"), the Load/Drive Concept (wind up and release) and Rotation/Flotation (using torso Rotation to Float to the back deck). Our students practiced Balance Braces, Butterfly Rolls and Hand Rolls. It's always incredibly rewarding to see students getting their first rolls!
