Front Surfing

One of the most entertaining moves for canoeists paddling whitewater is the front surf. In this video we break down the skills that unlock how to get on a surf wave and what to do once you're there. We cover the anatomy of a surf wave, what makes a good wave, doorways to get on, speed and angle, plus how to move around on the wave for full control of your surf. Finally, we also show a couple of techniques for catching hard to reach waves that just beg to be ridden!

Nice! And thanks!

@@westwoodoutdoors I think I have watched the CAPT video at least 30 times (no exaggeration, trying to learn) and the rolling video upwards of 15 times.

Here's hoping you will make more videos at a rate somewhat greater than every 3 years!!

[@westwoodoutdoors]

Blame the pandemic - really!🤣 Other life issues took over but be assured, not going to take 3 years for the next ones!
