I remember ducking into one of Oscar's clinics maybe 5 years ago, when he was with Epic. It was a life changing event, I was always passionate about kayaking, but he really directed me on how to apply myself and build my technique to be better. At the same time it became even more enjoyable. I absolutely love my surfski paddling now, it has taken me so many great places and I owe it to Oscar's tutelage. I really admire him and I grateful for all he gives to the sport.
Bought my Epic V6 directly from Oscar at the kayak show in NJ a few years back. Was the first V6 sold in NJ. Great guy. Fun to talk to. Wish him well at Nelo
Regarding feathering, what about if we need to paddle against the wind for a considerable amount of time, would you recommend feathering the paddle to cut the wind better if against the wind?
Wish I had come across this video when it was first published. It would have saved me 3 years of mistake laden paddling, punching the stroke and pulling back on the foot strap.
Thanks for this, very informative. Oscar is back in South Africa right now undergoing chemotherapy, wishing him a speedy recovery.
I hope he's doing well

lucky you only wasted 3 years...me double that !
I am so glad to see no feather. I was a sheep and always falling out on rhs with 15 degree feather. I’m happy flatter now. Thanks Oscar
the feather only affects one side , the control side is fixed, usually the right for most people. so how would feather affect your right side?
I agree 100%
Excellent!
Oscar is the master.
People over estimate how strong they are very often massive blades longshaft I would say most normal sized dudes shd paddle 210 and small head
poepol
couldnt take this guy and his waffling for more than 45 seconds, sorry...NEXT!!!!
Brilliant!
