Dear Andrew West Wood, I enjoyed the video. The video about canoeing was swell, exciting and fun to watch! I was more than delighted when i found your channel. Anyway, I can’t wait to be in your class this year (2020-2021)!! - Jacenly Al- Nabhan (ps. i love canoes and please stop forcing people to say skrizzors because of us.) (p.s.s It’s me Abbas I’m just proofreading this so Jacenly won’t have terrible grammar and punctuation have a great day!)

Great addition to the body of knowledge out there! Awesome footage and adding the green for wave interference patterns really helped make it obvious. I wonder - you didn’t mention carving vs a flat hull.

@westwoodoutdoors Жыл бұрын

Thanks Stef! Great question. If your eddy exit follows an arcing path, generally tilt the canoe. If your exit involves front surfing out into current, keep the hull flat and save the tilt for arcing off of the wave. There may be exceptions to this technique, but the majority of time, this will enhance stability and lead to a successful eddy exit.

The bow is the motor! Power and fine tuning manoeuvres is the bow role, stern roles are turn initiations and adding to the power.

@zacharywinters1841 4 жыл бұрын

Well made video with lots of good pointers tips and information although I would have to say part of the trick is the leg straps that you guys are wearing I have a bigger an older white water canoe with a perception saddle that's made from plastic and even with the horns it is extremely hard to finish with your thighs when wet and upside down it wasn't till I bought the thigh straps and was secured in the canoe that I then had the ability to flipper back over. But definitely a great video.

@westwoodoutdoors Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! Straps are essential.

@westwoodoutdoors Жыл бұрын

Anything to keep your legs “locked” in really. Foam bulkhead good too. Toe pegs or foam are good to press against to keep yourself in place. Try not to relax the legs when you go upside down otherwise you’ll drop out of your canoe.

@unclejohnthezef 4 жыл бұрын

Awesome but sadly 90%of your strokes go WAY over your head, and you criss cross without switching hands: my poor shoulders pop out of joint just watching you... but it is good info and maybe I can adapt it (short low strokes close to the body, no cross strokes)

@westwoodoutdoors Жыл бұрын

The cam forward technique which concentrates on using forward (no friction) (2x4) has X strokes. That's why our paddle length is shorter. I went from a 56 to 52 inch. Andrew went from 60 to 56. Saves those shoulders!

Great video. Thanks for posting -- I'm inspired! The canoe at the beginning and at the end looks like a Millbrook Shacho. Is that right and if so, what do you think of it?

@westwoodoutdoors Жыл бұрын

You're right! We use glass boats for slalom racing. Sadly Esquif doesn't produce them. We have a Satcho, Ignitor, and a Prowler. Love them for racing. BTW the Spark was designed with Kaz (owner of Millbrook Boats)

@explorermike19 5 жыл бұрын

will this work with a typical canoe without the bulkhead floatbags? I suppose you would have to have your thighs under the thwarts for starters.

@westwoodoutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Mike, the rolling skill can be done the same way with your thighs wedged beneath the center thwart of your canoe. You may find that rolling without airbags is actually easier. With the reduced buoyancy you don't have to lift yourself as far above water.

Well done video. tandem canoeing requires that both paddlers know the strokes and also communicate as one during the maneuver. for me and my wife that is the hardest part.

@westwoodoutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

It's really how each person in the boat perceives the move. We teach a course that looks at honing down communication in a tandem to ensure everything goes as planned. Eventually, nothing is said during paddling!

The tandem roll is the more experienced paddler "in the stern" holds his breath and waits for the dude in the front to bail out. Then you roll as normal...
