Hi every one.
I have been away from the forum for a long time but some of you may find it interesting to follow the development of my new web site.
It is right at the beginning and I am publishing it as I work on it, so changes happen every day.
The main part of it is putting down Ideas on technique I have found. Obviously at first I am putting down a beginner foundation and hope to take it up to more advanced stages.
Once I have got all the sections working I hope to have the facility where people can upload there spot location where they paddle.

We have had an amazing winter so far and hope to have a great year and wishing you have the same.

Plus here is an example of one of the graphics and text.

The basic power stroke.

It is important to get the board moving before you start to use a power stroke, so this basic power stroke is in the forward facing position with your feet parallel.

Start by doing 2 or 3 short soft strokes then angle your body more forwards so you can place the blade further forwards. It is important not to bend to much at the waist, as in 1).

Once the blade enters the water both arms should be straight and the paddle should be vertical in the sideways plain, as in 2).

3) and 4) are the same movement as in the first stroke you learnt. However you should try and have the same pressure on each arm. So the more power you put into moving the bottom arm back the more power you have to put through the top arm.

As you get to 5) you should be moving your hips forwards and taking the power out of the stroke.

6) and 7), you are rolling the wrists forwards and taking the paddle out of the water.
As you bring the blade forwards, keep it low to the water and aerodynamic.
