Hey there, I saw you on the Legacy on Saturday morning and witnessed your little swim - you almost made it both times, hope you don't mind this observation - it looked like your hip flick was solid, but your head kept coming up first - i know its difficult in the heat of the moment but this is what let you down this time. Remember boat, body, head
Hi, nice to meet you even if i didnt see you lol, no, of course i don't mind, I need all the help i can get lol If i am 100% honest, i dont even remeber doing the hip flick, all i can remember is the sweep, not saying I didn't but as you say, in the heat of things, so i probably did, I also noticed how easy it was to come up there, i think the flow aided somewhat cause its never been that easy, it caught me off guard. Its definitely a goal of mine, that and side surf, ferry across a bigger drop and maybe surf a bigger wave than those tiny ones lol
Been watching your lee valley vids recently as had Bearley been in a kayak since passing legacy assessment nearly a year ago and have found them great for reminding me of all the features that are there ,this was me and my mates first session back on and here you are on the same session lol i even spot myself a couple of times ,i will keep an eye out for you next time and say hello is that a burn you are in? We are also quite new to it all and still trying to perfect the roll after a few rolling practice sessions latley its coming on much better and even managed to do one on the course this sesh , you were so close to getting that roll this vid one thing i noticed with the rolls at end that may help as its definitely helped us is to follow then end of your blade with your head/eyes from set up position and all the way through the sweep out and that gets your head in a good position to pop up Cheers for the vids
Hi, Tony, I am glad you found them useful as that's one of the reasons why I decided to buy the camera, to help fellow paddlers and to show exactly what not to do and to learn from my mistakes. When I watch them back during editing (many times) they helped me to progress through the Developing WW course and pass the assessment because I could/can see where I was/am going wrong. Thanks for the tip re rolling, I think the flow actually helped when I tried it this time when on the course because it felt very easy but the 2nd reset I caught the paddle on a very shallow part (2ft deep at the most) oh and had I actually hip snapped I may have done it lol, and that's my problem, remembering to do each step and as a rule, I will forget at least 1 or 2 steps and sometimes all but the sweep. The main ones I forget are the hip snap and the opposite foot stamp. Well done with your roll and congrats for getting one on the course and yeah, gimmie a shout, I am in an old Burn (2) not B. Two and either a purple Sweets helmet or green WRSI, probably the purple one though, you really cannot miss me :D
Hi, Stuart, I am there every weekend at present and whilst I prefer a Saturday morning, the actual day is dependent. I check the bookings all week and wait till Friday evening to book it, if its not overly busy then I will do the 2x 1hr sessions on the Saturday morning, if it is busy then I will do the Sunday. This coming weekend I am busy Sunday so I have already booked the 2x 1hr slots Saturday morning.
Looking good mate getting better every time. 🤙🏻
Thank you, Leigh :)
You are improving 👍
Thank you, I do feel the same, I just wish i had the guts to try a ferry across a bigger drop, stuck in a hole and learn to blooming roll lol

you really said a lot of "no, no, no, no, nope" in this vid lol
Ha ha ha, I do have a bad habit of repeating myself :D
Are you there every Saturday
