Nice race! People have no idea how difficult this is. They think that like with running, anyone can run. But most people would capsize within a meter with these kayaks. Me, I have paddled kayaks since childhood, and made a serious effort to learn the K1. I never had the illusion I would get the strength to actually compete, but I wanted to learn the technique. As a result, I now have a pretty decent technique, much better than most kayakers, but not stable or regular enough for the K1. I could paddle them at a leisurely pace, but when trying to put power into it I would lose my balance. Not enough to capsize, but enough to break the rhythm. To get to this level of technique takes hundreds of hours and thousands of kilometers.
@@windowsusing I’ve done it and it literally took like 5 minutes to learn. Rowing in a single is way easier to capsize and requires more technique. I’ve done both and rowing is objectively harder.
1:44 is not a bad time in K1. To reach this, you need outstanding stamina, good power, stability, etc. These Nelo K1 cinco race kayaks are unstable, not easy to sit. I am senior, have a Nelo K1 quattro which is similar. Old K1 kayaks were much more stable. So , nice job. Of course it is "easy" for him, since he is a young kayaker, around 75kg, which is a good racing weight, but, believe me, ti reach a reasonable time in any distance, is not easy.
@@windowsusing its possible, a have never used V3. I am Hungarian. I used old fahioned hungarian K1 at that time (80's). We did not have Nelo, but we had "Csepeli" which was a good kayak at that time.

It’s really not that hard
@@ajisaksen4109 you do kayak ?
@@windowsusing sometimes but kayaking is low key easy as hell. Rowing is way harder
@@ajisaksen4109 sometimes as you said you can't know how hard it is then

👏👍
Wao 💯 💪
A kayaker canoer here really appreciate these guys were relying
190 csapás/1:44 élmény volt, köszi!
145
А где тензограмма? По нагрузке, по ЧСС . Или все только темпу?
Time was 1.44 min, for 500m. We won the national race in 1986 with the same time, ....in K4-500m, ...ok, we were 14 years old.
Wish I could be that fast!

i think cinco is more stable the v3 is the most unstable
