Coach this is the same video as your last video. Not sure if that's on purpose but wanted to mention it
Thanks!!! checking it out. !!!
I appreciate the advice. Thank you.
Happy to help. There are a ton of videos and posts along the same line at paddlemonster.com. Let us know if you have any questions. Hope you get some water or gym time today.
I loved reading your blog before and watching the videos afterwards. It brought me the rest partly missing understanding due to the reading. But I couldn't find an answer depends on bladesizes. Can I just take a larger paddle blade instead of tennis balls to internalize the technique with slow movements and then switch to a smaller paddle blade to have faster movements. Is it a mistake to take a one size smaller blade as the manufacturer generally recommends for my weight. Or can't I catch my weight and "fall on my board" with a to smal blade during a far and strong catch?
Changing your blade size won't do the same thing as using resistance from the tennis ball setup. These are all big questions. Reach out to Larry on the Site in Messages and he can give you some more specific guidance with your training.
Running to read it! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Larry!!!
I feel like Larry is the Jordan Peterson of paddling .
Larry is quietly flexing his medals on all of us
what bladе square are you using?
It is sooooo good to see your face!!! Miss you! <3
Great suggestions. I’m going to sign up after this race in Jensen Beach. I am on a mission to get a better board. The Gen R is not great so I’m trying a Flying Fish.
What if you can’t stretch after a workout because you have to bike home?
Thank you Larry 🏄🤙
I'm soo SAD I can't join the gang in Key West for the last one (important family wedding or I would have made it happen)! PLEASE share hugs all around with the amazing Lazy Dog crew.
Thank you for this! Living up here in New England along with working full time definitley makes winter SUP training non-existant. I just started getting out on the water about a month ago...looking forward to my first race of the season in 2 weeks. I will definitley be checking out your strategies for training.
No mention of the elbow position on the upper arm? It is relatively straight in the catch but becomes more bent in the power phase. In my interpretation, this means that you are relying, at least partially, on muscling through the power phase but missing out on some of the leverage power of body weight - which is most effectively transferred to the paddle via arm rigidity, and which should be thought of as directed perpendicularly to the water.
Awesome video coach. Keep them coming!
I love these kind of analysis , i need to film myself . Thanks a lot !
Thanks for putting all of this up. Fills a void for all of us who don't have access to coaching. Great stuff.
Some feedback: you spent so long demonstrating the difference between weight forward, centred, and back, that i've missed the point of where it _should_ be -- centred or forward?
I hope the race gets covered. I would love to watch it
Love this Lisa! I'm so stoked for you and I've learned so much from you!
Great info, thank you. I’m trying to balance paddling, recovery and strength training right now. Looks like I will keep doing maintanence strength for a while.
Aloha Lisa! That would be one heck of a paddle around Molokini and back!
Happy news is not explaining the fires cause or failed government response to it. The lack of media attention to this event is a crime unto itself. I hope the victums can remain strong and unified in their demand for and ownership of truth. Good wishes to you on this day and all others.
Good man buddy. It's a good thing you and everyone else involved are doing for the kids.
Keep shining the light on this horrific event. The evil flourishes in the dark. God Bless those children & you all ❤
You were going to overcome this darkness that is trying to destroy the Aloha Spirit Aloha will never die❤
It's called genocide genocide
Gross to seeing ladies butttts hanging out. Why don’t they be more modest? No kids are interested in seeing that.

Very helpful!!! Can't wait to try this in the winter!
Great video coach. Would you say many paddlers simply have their paddle to short at fist above head height? Looking at your video, should the shaft be at arm extended overhead height? Thanks
I'd say many paddlers tend to have their paddle too long (often based on old-school training) and at risk of shoulder injury. Here, Coach appears to have a very long paddle, or high upper hand, in my opinion, because his blade is never under water (his floor). In real life, his blade would be burried in water and hence his top hand would be much lower.
Nice drill
Great breakdown. Learnt a lot. Cheers
𝕡𝐫o𝕄o𝔰𝓶 💥
Well done!
Great interview - love the mutual respect between you two 🙂
That's actaully some of the smartest advice - given from the perspective of efficiency of movement, not the just how to grip a paddle.
Awesome video. I really like the variety of exercises. Thank you
I’ve been doing 6 miles, at a higher speed, not 100 percent, 2-3 times a week for a few months and I feel like I’m getting worse. Advise?
I am an Apline ski instructor, he is speakin' my language. Pure gold. Thank you Larry.
Still offering nutrition programs?
One comment about the video series: I've consumed all these while preparing for a 68km marathon and got to the finish line first. Coach Cain, you are like a paddling deity for me now.
Where did you purchase this?
Good to see snd hear you again Larry. Greetings from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Take a guess where that is. 😀
Larry doesn't get on UA-cam often...but I'll speak for him. He knows that is! PS: Thanks for the hello!!
Simply GOLDMINE of info. Thanks coach!!
Thank you!!! Perfect tutorial
Same for double bend vs single bend?
Thanks so much!
Thanks Larry , definitely added to your last lecture on off season training. My level 2 this fall , upon reflection , hasn't really been level 2 so I'll make some changes in that regard .
