Good stuff, Matt. First came across your Madagascar expedition videos, I think. Some proper Chompinators there!

Thank you for covering the topic Matt. I have been around watching your videos since the tutorial on cartwheels, I think. Have a great start to your week!

Loving this one pal. This is such an important point to share. I see a lot of paddlers for whom mindset work is all about understanding and managing anxieties, with too little discussion about building resilience.

I still think that your fight in that hole should have made you the technical winner of the Green Race that year!

I really like the example of mental fortitude you gave; when your note paper blew into the water and you kept going.

We I think you had about 500 subscribers when I started watching your videos and I all ways liked the skill building ones and the breakdown of moves

I honestly thought there would be a plot twist at the end. But thanks for the informative advice.

Mine was 'How to style out stern pirouettes' in Dec 2021 (according to my youtube history). Your vids are a regular watch (and recommendation to others) a good variety of tips, tutorials and vlogs - informative, helpful and fun.

„How to stern stall ( a verticality deep dive )” that was my first video I watched. After first session with your coaching at Woodmill last time, I’m looking forward for next session this time on the river. By the way great videos for white water kayaking. Keep going Matthew 💪🏼

First video I ever watched, how to back deck roll. I have not attempted the back deck role as I’m still trying to polish up the C roll but I will get there. Your videos are very helpful and confidence boosting. Keep up the good work.

River dart Video was my First one

No es la nave es el piloto 🎉

I'm pretty sure I have watched since the first video. Really enjoy the ones going down a river

Petition to ensure each video from now on has a skit at the start ✅

I want to be like you when I grow up 🤘

The good thing about this is that if you fail you are already in the perfect rolling position 😂

As someone who came across this short with no prior knowledge of kayaking why is holding an edge good? Are these techniques to train in calm water that better help navigation of rapids and stronger currents?

Aw hell yeah! Gotta try that sometime

Just a little kiss on the rock, you killed it!

Sweet move

Agreed, very cool. Having a hard time wrapping my head around this move. Matthew, would you mind breaking this move down into steps? Looks like stern’s upstream edge is up , in power position, and modified bow draw with open faced blade while on the eddy line…(?)

Digging that stern entry, dope!!

Looking good there dude!

Ooph, style for miles! Your squirting games is waaaaay up there dude 👌

Did you used to have a blue Dagger RPM ?

So smooth, love your style.

Very cool. What boat you in?

To mogu čak i ja

That was helpfull! I did the one where you throw the paddle in first and roll over your hands but next summer I will try to do this move. This is similar to a freewheel no?

When you backwards paddle into the feature and initiate a splat:pirouette are you basically just putting the blade behind you and edging away from it?

Back surf really good test of awareness on the wave

Love your posts. Are you in an ozone?

You'll be in a minority at Hurley then; nearly everyone there only ever goes left! A tip: on 3 gates and also on two, the first gate forms a super-retentive cartwheeling pocket for going left just on the seam behind the stantion. It's difficult to describe, but when you find it it's retentive as anything. That's going to be the easiest spot for getting your left hand going and getting everything lined up properly. Also, if you cross into the middle gate fairly high on the pile, then immediately cut back onto your right edge to bounce off the shoulder into a left blunt it generates loooads of pop. Your roundhouses/blunts are nice and smooth, but I think you're setting up a bit too low on the wave, a little too close to the centre and end up throwing a bit too low in the trough, so they're a bit flat. Setting up higher and a smidgen further out to the side and you can generate more upstream speed and more pop off your edge transition so the bow has more air to drop into and make your blunt steeper. You can afford to be quite aggressive with it.

Are these courses more based towards beginners or more advanced?

Nice, as a SuperNova paddler it’s great to see how you manage the slice boat 🤙

Wish I lived in the UK to get lessons haha

Love the paddle

Great stuff, this is why playboating is such a game changer, you can have a great time on the most marginal of features

Im still at the basics. But to give myself some accountability: I want to have a roll on both sides, be able to flat spin/surf at more angles, and to be surfing bigger downstream waves. Most of this is just comfort on waves that will come with practice, hopefully. Great idea for a video series, though. I look forward to checking in.

Who makes your paddle?

Your content is really good. Fix the thumbnail for this video - I almost didn't click on it cuz your shoulders are badly exposed in that moment and I don't like to watch bad boating. Turns out your boating is pretty good. I'm trying to improve my blunts so I'll keep watching. Have a fun winter season!

I’m trying to learn how to double pump without a paddle. But, I’m struggling to do it. My lean clean is not great, worth starting it from that?

Did you get that paddle in the south east? Always wondered

Great Video I’m about to hit Columbus for the first time Sunday and I never really tried to throw wave tricks got any tips for blunts and air screws?

Get a firecracker for river play, and a creeker for creeking

Any plans to do any coaching sessions at Hurley? 🙂

Great video! I’m going to have to book another session with you and bring my super nova along to get some tips for super-slicey fun! 🙂

Looks like you’re loving the dagger . It’s awesome boat are you in the nova or super nova ?
