I’ve got my legacy course assessment what skills do I need to learn or progress on to pass the Olympic assessment. Sick paddling by the way

[@james_short]

Thanks man. Hope your assessment went well. I would say to progress onto the Olympic firstly make your roll bombproof. This will allow you to have confidence to try new things. Next, just go paddling as much as possible and try to do as many different things as possible, make no 2 laps the same. Good luck bro!

Absolute style great lines 👍 out of interest what size paddle length are you using?

[@james_short]

Thanks man. I'm 6'3 and currently on 203 50°. Would like to try out longer but the blades are pretty big on my paddle so the power becomes slightly unmanagable. I highly recommend going long rather than short on your paddle, definitely helps a bunch with river running

[@Helter47Skelter]

@@james_short ok thanks I'm a lot shorter at 5-8 currently I'm trying a split set-up that can go from 200 to 204 very used to a 30 feather on a shorter blade 194, but I've found I've been able to initiate the tail down better with a longer paddle.

What Camera do you use?

[@james_short]

I did this video with the GoPro 10. I messed up the settings a little so the quality was a little disappointing, but the stabilization is incredible

You had the course to yourself

[@lucyshort9074]

Top class!

There were 2 other people on the course but it was pretty empty
