Transform Your Paddling... (Quick Intermediate Paddle Tips)

[@aaronvu6292]

If some people likes running, you could be loving paddling too. I used to hate paddling until I fixed the way I was thinking. And now surfing is much more enjoyable even on days my wave counts were low.

You gave me flashbacks of the webbed gloves from the eighties I can't remember who came up with them but for some reason they never really caught on maybe the optics was the downfall but they did work Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well Dan the Man 👍🤙

Paddling as a movement or exercise is so unique that if you stop doing it for a month or two, it is enough to be exhausted on the first session back. You can be very fit, working out at the gym and running, but paddling takes time to build stamina. Dan could you make a video about recovering from injuries?

[@DanHarmon123]

Totally agree!! Last week I didn't surf as it was flat at home, and even after a week or so of not surfing, I noticed how sore I was on the first session back haha!! And that's with training and going to the gym while it was flat!!

After a flat spell or time away from the ocean my paddling goes to shit, norm takes me a couple of weeks to get back on form. I’d love one of these videos on maintenance of paddle stamina or to be pointed in the right direction, the internet is a minefield. Also nice to see yea branching out from travel stuff

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah, same!! Wicked, I'll look into creating something like that! Yep, I'll throw a few different things in the mix, but don't worry, plenty more travel stuff coming up haha!!

Thanks for the great tips, Dan. Do you have a theory about fingers together or apart? I believe apart means you're potentially catching more water with each stroke? Plus it's less stress on the fingers than holding a cupped hand.

A lot of people don't learn to lye on or paddle there board properly properly it's evident even when they have been surfing for years it's really important to get it right from the beginning if your doing it right when you lower your head to catch your board will trim nicely. If that's a good way to put it

[@DanHarmon123]

For sure!!

Buy paddle bands and do regular workouts when not surfing. Huge difference in endurance

[@DanHarmon123]

For sure!! Solid idea if you can't get in the water!

[@fipsdeluxe4926]

good points! this video about paddling into waves was the key for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5bZhHmMpt9_irMsi=oFzx46q3AFzJTl-r different paddle speeds are so important, so that you still have some juice when the wave lifts you!

[@gallivantstravels]

Get a bigger board. Your paddling will thank you.

[@DanHarmon123]

Yeah, forgot to mention that one.. probably the best tip haha!!
