Help....Can't Paddle Straight

[blueplanetsurf]

Hey Robert, that board looks pretty narrow on this vid.  How wide is it?

That board is actually pretty stable, the 14' x 28" Bump Rider.  It was kind of rough that day so that's why it might look narrow and tippy.

we made a video on how to paddle straight that should be helpful:



Stand Up Paddle tips: using the blade angle, stroke path, and shaft angle to make the board go in a straight line. 
If you can only get a few strokes per side before having to switch sides, this video has some tips on how to make your board go in a straight line longer with less yawing by:

1) Shaft angle: holding your shaft straight- perpendicular to the water

2) Blade angle: angling the blade slightly inward towards the board 

3) Blade path: starting the stroke slightly away from the rail nd pulling the paddle in towards the feet, ending the stroke close to rail by your feet.

We recently had our google account hacked and the hacker deleted all our most recent youtube videos.  I had to re-load the videos to youtube and am now re-posting the deleted videos.
