Very nice video, this looks so much fun. I am totally new to this sport, and have never paddled in my life, but i already love it. Time for me to find an instructor!
I just bought an old one from the late 80s and removed the straps easy as I just watched all the youtube videos even just for leisurely excersize there so fun great little challenge cant wait for summer and bigger waves
I like your "attack" position and the leg drive too...nice relaxed recovery...great rotation... I use all of that in my paddling of OC-1 and Dragon Boating. :) I tried a SS once... fell right off! :)
It is a great video but the tecnique explained is not the best. When you pull you don't have to use the arm,you should use the dorsal and the addominals. With the arm that is not going to enter in the water you don' t have to push, you should hold the push and rotate , in this way the stroke in the water is more efficent. Then you have to use more the legs even if you are on a surfski
And the exit isn't very good on this paddler. A good exit gives more power to the legs for longer. And opens up the back etc for better rotation from the hips.
The reason for inflating the ski was to have a solid hull, no flex. The skis are built quiet solid now so you don't really need to and some skis have breathers, like OC's or ocean skis.. Also if sitting in the heat and you put them in cold water they used to suck in so adding air helped....
best video i've seen for getting into the sport, thanks!
great video ! thank you. Just bought a surfski and planning to train for Hawaii Molokai race. Very clear and helpful. Will work on the technique !!

worth committing too! falling out is important part of learning takes persistence but so rewarding just surfing your first few waves
Excellent video!!!!

I call bullshit on your heart rate information. This varies and is dependent on one's age and fitness.
What size of blade do you use on flat water and on surf
👏😊👍
Trust ME!!! Im gunna stick my BUNG in the HOLE
Hm. "Inflate your ski, so it will go faster"?
Absolutely. Getting a bit of air pressure in the hull makes your ski sit higher in the water, with less drag. Everyone I know does it.

Any tips on remounts?
I'll get in first - don't fall off. If you do, get on quick and go. Not sure there's a technique.
+MrBundybear3 epic kayaks have a great tute son remounts. It's on UA-cam.
MrBundybear3 where did you film this video
