STORM ROLL 2023

[@ahamba]

This summer I have been aspiring to nail the storm roll, except no matter what I tried I ended up with a mouthful of lake salad and unintentional sushi. I had watched multiple videos on the subject and it looked so easy. Then this, your super vid, popped into my feed, praise be to the Holy Algo, but mostly praise heaped upon youranimation. The axes of rotation bit, and most especially the martial art motion from the waist, would have elicited "Eureka" if I were paddlng Greek. Instead I yelled something unprintable like, " #8%3, that's it!" I have a reliable "sweep" roll that finishes aft of body vertical, but it relies on getting further back for everything to engage. The fanimation in free space, demonstrated the quicker propeller-like punch. At the end of my day, this visual buzzing in my head, I tossed the boat on the rack and headed to my favorite spot on the lake. Would you believe it, I nailed it in just three tries! The power of that propeller motion from the waist up - the same way I paddle, but just under the water. The hip snap get's me to 90 and that kung-kendo-karate move propells my 220 lb 6'2 into a forward-leaning finish. I whooped for joy, did a little jig on the shore, and the lake trout gave me a thumbs up. I thank you for your effort, Mr. Ito. It is also a valuable recognition for me of the power of animation for instruction. If you have a moment, could you tell me what software you used? Peace.

Thank you for your impression. I'm so honored. Actually, I usually use a software developed in Holland called "Blender". ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender Please send your storm roll video to me, if you can. I would like to upload it to my website. www.storm-on.com/ Thanks!

パドルとカヤックのローテーションはわかっていたような気がしますがトルソローテーションをそんな風に使っていたんですね。 なるほどです！ かっこよくできるようになりたいです〜。

I tried and tried and tried, with lessons and I just can't do it. And have to wet exit everytime. 😢

[@EiichiIto]

Do not give up! It took me a very long time to learn this too. If you keep practicing, you will definitely see the light someday.

[@sanderschwerdt4649]

Bela animação.
