- Here's part two of our canoe paddling technique video with elite paddler and championship coach John Puakea. In this video, Johnny continues teaching us the importance of "The Catch". According to Johnny, once you get your catch right and master it, then you can work on the rest of your paddle stroke, your conditioning, and your strength.

About John Puakea (from www.puakeadesigns.com/johnnyp...)
As the founder of Puakea Designs, John is an internationally sought after canoe builder as well as a championship-winning paddling coach, whose career as a canoeing innovator and promoter has evolved with the expanding paddling sports market.
Over years of coaching, John's own experience as an elite paddler, combined with his talent for refining technique and efficiency, have nurtured the best assets of other paddlers at the highest level of competition. After coaching the US National Kayak Team at various Olympic training centers, homesick, John moved back to Hawaii to coach various top outrigger canoe teams, including both the men's and the women's team for the winning Outrigger Canoe Club in Waikiki for six years.
As an exceptional technical coach, John has helped push world-class paddlers to the next level in international competition. His ability to improve the performance of already-elite paddlers also led Team Bradley to consecutive first-place finishes in the Molokai-to-Oahu Na Wahine O Ke Kai, and to the fastest crossing time by any women's team in the history of the race. Johnny has also coached top OC1 paddlers like Jimmy Austin, Danny Ching and Lauren Spalding.
John's knowledge of body mechanics complements his strengths in canoe building. His top-performing designs include the Kaimana, the Kainalu, the Pueo 1, the Ehukai-and the new superstar, the Kahe Kai-all OC1 canoes. New in OC6 production, is his very fast Puakea Unlimited (Malolo) canoe, owned by various West Coast mainland and international teams in anticipation of top times in this new ultralight division. Top Tahitian team, Shell Va'a, chose John's Makika OC6 design for the grueling Olamau Race in 2013, and won in all three stages.
John's inherent craftsmanship and design finesse come from an early indoctrination into canoe culture by his father, Bobby Puakea, beloved coach, renowned wooden canoe builder, and Puakea Foundation of Hawaii founder. While traditional sensibilities and a duty to cultural stewardship inspire John's designs, speed considerations drive the end product. John's elegantly styled canoes are among the fastest and race-proven on the water anywhere in the world.
For the wider paddling community, John is continuing to advance paddling performance with this new line of products, including outrigger and SUP paddles, applying the same technical and aesthetic standards used in his OC1s and OC6s. Additionally, John is also available (depending on his schedule) for coaching for clubs, groups and paddling events.

Been following him for years never stop learning I always go back & watch
Fabulous! I too cannot stand thinking about angles on the water. Thank you for prioritizing what is important. Beautiful demo!
Fantastic video Part 1 and Part 2! I just signed up for a membership with Maui Canoe Club and really appreciated this training video before I go out to paddle. Mahalo for this excellent instruction.
What perfect advice, and using very few words. If you don't "lock in", everything else isn't really right. If you "catch", then you can focus on everything else. Otherwise, it is just a bust, a broken effort. I learned the basic concept for SUP stroke just through time and miles. I don't have the OC-1 stroke at all yet, but I know I need the catch! (I'll get better...)
New to canoeing and found this super helpful. Thanks!
I love your show, you have helped me so much in paddle. I paddle for Makaha Canoe Club. Thank you so much

Great explanation! Thanks a lot. After many years of paddling your somewaht different approach helepd me to cocentrate on just few points. I will try to help my dragon boating team.
I would love one of those canoes. I SUP at the moment but those canoes are just gorgeous! Maybe my next toy in the future !!!! 😁
As we plant the blade the top hand is over the bottom hand, but as the blade is pulled through the water (canoe pulled to the blade) the top hand is forward of the bottom hand. The angle of the blade is not perpendicular to the canoe and there is an upward angle of back of the blade. Question, is this moving the water straight back or at an upward direction?
So much different techniques people be telling me these days
show congratulations
