Forward Paddling Clinic with Kayakmor


We recently took a spin to Galway to chat all things forward paddling with renowned  marathon and surfski paddler Jim Morrisey.
The day began with some video analysis of Oscar Chalumpsky and Greg Barton's style and technique, drawing out the key components to perfect forward paddling. We then took these key points out to the ergo were Jim guided us toward correct performance and effective forward paddling. Finally we hit the water and applied what we had learnt to the surfskis and double racing kayak.
Thanks to Jim at Kayakmór for a really informative and productive session.

Here is some footage from the recent Ocean Addicts waveski & surf kayak coaching camp. Really good group of people on the course so made it a very enjoyable week. The footage is from sessions where students were working on various skills such as getting air, cut backs and re-entries. Plenty of spills so we know they were trying! Thank you again to everyone involved for making it a great week. Look out for the upcoming feature on kayaksurf.net from their roving reporter Pete Copp who has some quality pictures too!
