Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!! About bloody time someone said all this on KZbin!

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Well, very much inspired by your encouragement! And let's face it, other (better) coaches have been saying all this stuff for years.

Really good tips and information Matt. Great to see other paddlers in the video showing different methods/techniques too.

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Hi looking for a small and short river runner.I'm 5ft 5 and 8 1/2 stone and old returning to kayaking many thanks

@@victorthomas4897 The small Ripper is a phenomenal boat, but if you're looking for something both small and short in length, I'd suggest perhaps trying the small Dagger Axiom or small Jackson Antix. There are plenty of options out there, but the best thing to do is try boats for yourself and see what you find comfortable.
