Lemmy Technique.mp4

Lemmy Lambert is the co-builder and designer of the Va'a Factory V1 and V6 in Tahiti. An accomplished paddler himself, Lemmy and his team, Taaroa Dubois, Roland Teahui, Steeve Teihotaata and Heialanin Vairaaroa won the Te Aito, Super Aito 2009 V1 races, they also manufacture the V6 for Top Tahitian Teams.
Lemmy was just recently in Australia as coach of a V1 Clinic organized by Erica Hamp, Tracy Horan, the South Queensland Zone AOCRA Committee and Mark Kennedy (Va'a Factory Franchisee in Aust ZuluSurf) I had the pleasure of spending time with Lemmy at the 2 day Clinic and filming him demonstrating basic V1 Technique. The video above is part of that Clinic.

I really appreciate this video, thanks. It shows a lot of important aspects to a paddle stroke and even proper hand technique when switching sides. Very helpful for an amatuer paddler like myself.

I found the stroke very short, with little hip movement and very low leg influence.

[@subliminallyinc]

that's because his subtle movements are going into the propulsion of the canoe. Less is more.

Text book paddling in action. Perfect.
