Going to date myself. In my time, we used to call those enders or endos. Actually, that was well into my time kayaking. Before that, all the boats were so high volume you could park them below a huge pour over, and still be unable to stand the boat on its tail. You might be able to collapse the deck (no pillars in those days), and you could still get trashed in a keeper hole, but you could not get a kayak to stand on its tail. A further hint at my age, and thus how much the sport has changed, is that when I first got started, the few boats that there were outside of Inuit communities were made of wood and waterproofed canvas. Later, fiberglass boats came into use. One had to take along piles of duct tape if one was going to run a serious whitewater river because it was so easy to crack the things on rocks. By the time modern polyethylene kayaks became commonplace, I was paddling with my grown son and his wife on class 5. I wish I'd been born two or three decades later so that I could experience paddling the really advanced whitewater boats available today. There are so many fine boats available now which you can do so much more with. I can only imagine how far the sport will go in the future. I am sure there will be much for those of you who will live to see it to look forward to. That is, if climate change doesn't dry up all the rivers first. I also remember getting a chocolate bar when the late Queen Elizabeth took the throne. Soon, I will be giving one to my great grandchildren. It won't be as special to them, but I want to keep the tradition alive.
Awesome - i've been stuggling with this for a while, never have I thought about using the paddle as the anchor and rotating everything else around it. Will be giving this ago in the next few days - thanks again
Great information I’ve been working on this for a while now and this is very helpful about the leg lift hopefully by the end of summer I will have improved
Thanks for the great video! I can reliably get it up but it keeps falling over on top of me. I try to push my feet out to stop it but it falls. Any tips for that?
Ease off a bit when you're crunching forward to get the bow up. Also if you find you're falling over a lot try to learn the screw up where instead of the boat falling fully you roll the boat mid fall and turn it back upright
Like the visualisations! Especially that the paddle is fixed and it's the boat that moves.
Glad I can help :)
