MikeSch, Haley your physical training and tips for paddlers are very helpful for me I just took delivery of a new V9. Its my first ski and as I had imagined it was going to be a challenge, Ive been in it 3 times in the last week and am progressing, from 50% absolutely upside down first day to third day yesterday in smoother water able to deep water remount (just) and paddling into a 5 -10 klm wind turning across wind and down wind. Confidence building slowly. Watching and learning from your training videos. Im 70 next month and require a lot of rebuilding after years of neglect. Thankyou.
Excellent presentation. All that under 5 minutes. Third time that I have looked at this video. Was not an issue in the past, so I thought. Until the new boat came along, is a lot faster, it does highlight all the imbalances🤣. Was already unknowingly addressing the problem (this morning) till everything was fast n smooth after 7kms on the river,,,,, as you can hear the air being suck into the bailer below your feet. Am 61 and really enjoying paddling and appreciate your tutorials. Thanks for Lismore NSW Australia
Hi, I am a newby to the surfski sport made transition from Standup paddle boarder. . I love your video's. Just before Christmas I received my first Surfski and I am hooked. My left is definetly the weaker side. Your this video is definetly helpful and I can work with it in the gym. :-)
Thank you for this advice. Especially in my 560 I tilt much more to the left during a stroke, and in choppy condition thats the side I'd go for a swim. Makes me have to concentrate, which takes up quite some energy too.
Thank you for this video! In my case, even though I am a lefty, I think I engage much better my right side than my left one (core). I find the single bench press exercises that you demonstrated extremely useful, however, the single-arm rowing-pulls have worked a bit better for me because they engage my obliques better and mimic the motion of paddling on a surfski a bit better than the bench press -
DM with Karl suggested that I check out your channel and I'm glad he did. Very good videos. New subscriber here and I'll be watching your other productions as time permits. Greetings from Satellite Beach, Florida.
@@hayleynixon307 Sounds good. I'm in Central Florida on the East Coast. It's a very good area for paddle sports but all of Florida is good actually. The southern portion of the state has endless marshes and mangrove islands to explore. The central part has jungle, creeks, and many lakes. The north has all the beautiful springs and a lot of great rivers like the Suwannee, Chipola, Apalachicola, Econfina, and Choctawhatchee. Florida has 166 Wildlife Management Areas, numerous state parks, and the largest wilderness in the Eastern U.S.A. (Everglades). I don't know what time of year you plan to visit but keep in mind water levels fluctuate at an almost unbelievable amount in many waterways depending on the time of year. There are great places to paddle in August that are bone dry in January. Take care.
i am confused- my stronger side is right but my dominant side [the one I prefer mounting/bracing/holding a shovel/ paddle in a canoe/shooting a rifle/kicking a ball] is left...
Yep... this happens and I'd be hard pressed to have the exact answer. Maybe a bit ambidextrous? Or you just nurtured your fine motor control on the left but your physical strength on the right. Either way, we can work to try even the two out ;-)

ll be sharing this.....but yeah, we have discussed this in our training and im increasingly aware of this imbalance.
Really helpful tips and so clearly explained. Can't wait to try this out and compare!
Great video 👍💪

Yes, you are 100% right. Glad you enjoyed these and have put them to practice too.

Hey, thanks for the comment... we may be in Florida later this year so it would be good to connect. - Hayley Nixon

Woman Power love your help 😃
never did I think about doing speed comparisons left vs right (mind blown, how stupid simple)
Haha... at least I can still school the scientist sometimes ;-) HN
