So impressive. Watched your Gearlab Greenland paddle reviews. Fill me in on the wooden paddle. Looking to find a good place to start trying a Greenland paddle before going full carbon.
Good try! Took me over a year to figure this out, without anyone's guidance. Key thing is to keep the paddle close to your body at all times. As it has been mentioned before, your top hand should be close to your forehead and hold the paddle aligned with your body during the pry, so that it forms an extension of your torso. When prying, use your core muscle and bow downwards while holding the paddle firmly close to your body. It should be more effective than using your arms to push body away from the paddle to lift your head out of the water. During recovery, keep the paddle in water, perpendicular to your kayak and smartly swing your body forward towards the deck.
I use Davinci Resolve and I use the free version. It's super powerful and you can do so much with the free version. It might be something you can use to edit your videos!
obvious mistake wrong position of the hands. 1. top hand - keep ALWAYS during almost all the movement back of top hand to your forehead. in contact. 2. bottom hand - stretch down. straight hand. you should form triangle - straight bottom hand away from the body, paddle from the bottom hand to forehead and your body. and move with this triangle during sweep, then break it during pry. best explanation in this video: ua-cam.com/video/pQnmwLeJkAQ/v-deo.html
I’m really enjoying the kayak content. Thanks for sharing your learning journey with us.
Really appreciate it!
As someone who is just starting to learn Greenland rolls, your learning to roll videos are super helpful!
It’s great you’re learning too! Happy it’s helpful!
@@Fishaholicboy It is! It makes me think I need a camera to film my rolls, I'm sure I would learn a lot...
Awesome buddy 👍 I'm sure these videos will be helpful to other paddles who want to learn the fun and excitement of a roll.
Great job 👍

Thank you for watching! I’m thinking about making a video to compare a wood GP vs Carbon GP soon.. there’s definitely differences between the two!
I video rolls for exactly the same reason, it's a great learning tool.
I love seeing your videos!
👍💪
Thanks Bill as always!

Thanks for all the tips! I haven’t seen your videos for a while!
