great advice. thank you.

[@anthonymollano5532]

love the analogies to xc skiing!!

Why does paddle movement end so long behind you? Isn't it inefficient pushing the board into the sea?

[@thebobman69]

The blades goes deep the further back the stroke to minimise this,

[@lassesauerteig]

Sorry but your paddlestroke is a bit too long. The paddlestroke shouldnt be much longer than your foot and you should bring more pressure on the Paddle than you showed.

[@artemasward5842]

agreed + bend the knees and then push with thighs. good to watch olympic canoe

[@fabrizioajola2085]

Hi, how long is the paddle longer than your height? This series of video is very interesting

[@torelliandreadogacademy42]

I would like to ask you a question. If we have 2 identical SUP boards .. same construction material .. same shape .. same width, lets say 75 cm with the same paddler but different length. One 3 meters and the other 4.5 mmeters. Which one will be the fastest? and the difference in speed will be significant or very minimal? Thank you very much

Great videos - but his stance is not neutral - is there a reason for that, or is it a mistake?

[@Hroethbert]

He is using a shallow surf stance, one foot slightly ahead of the other. Gives the paddler a bit more control over the board.

[@klatrekim]

@@Hroethbert I can understand that it is OK for a sprint, but if you have to change the paddelside, it seems not that effective. I don't see any of the elite athletes padling with that surfstance, if they are padling long distance?

[@craigsmeton690]

Most strong paddlers can paddle on one side as long as they need, watch Connor Barth... I just started SUPing last summer and it took me a while, but I’m getting better keeping the board straight. Here’s to fast SUPing!!!

[@yo1erd]

I don't understand, in other video you explain another way. Video with the skate. Here you row with your arms!!!!

[@jasonhendrickson2289]

Sorry, but this dude's technique sucks. You don't paddle past your feet.

[@seraphinribeiro1398]

Very bad technical
