It is so clear when you explain things . Even when English isn't your native language. Thnx

So nice of you. I try really hard to make it simple in both language and breakdown so your feedback is particularly prized. Thank you.

Great video. Nice to have such clarity on knee and body position, and your points on the palm roll are fascinating. Glad to see Billie keeping all the chickens out of shot. 😁👍

I thought my head was mashed from trying to understand all the ways of going forward!!! Now you tell me canoes have a reverse gear, 🤔🤔 and I thaught my cycling proficiency test was hard 😂😂❤. Chears Ray, you put out so much for no reward, loving all that you do. Nige. Ps will buy your books, but only sighed copies,, 📖📖😀.

Just completed my first overnight canoe camping trip with my son. Your videos provided many tips to help us complete our 20km journey.

That is awesome! I hope you had masses of fun and I am so glad the videos helped.

If I may add a suggestion? When doing a reverse J you can shuffle forward with my knees under and my thighs leaning on the carrying yolk, especially useful when ferry gliding backwards. Again another great vid Ray 😁🛶

Hiya Keep these up. I watch them, I learn something or more from all of them and they are also a “reference point” where people can watch, try and watch again based on some feel In other words, these from a clear and well explained baseline skills for most paddlers Thanks

Hopefully the learner will get a lot from the videos and the coach/experienced person will get tips. Thank you.

Have found that tweaking the skulling draw at the stern of the canoe enables you to go backwards

Yep totally with you on that. 😀

Thanks for your good instructions. The only thing I wonder is the reaction of the locals seeing you paddle backwards on a slow river, repeatedly, in a pink canoe behind a camera. I'm planning to buy your book, I think I can say that much.

@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 жыл бұрын

Not as big a reaction as to when I am using a pole and standing to travel upstream. Even the kayakers express bewilderment. I hope you enjoy the book. Many thanks Ray

Thanks for all your videos, Ray! They are so helpful! Can you tell me the manufacturer of your paddle? I'm really not liking my square tip slalom paddles, but I need something that is tough for the rocky rivers that I paddle frequently. Thanks!

@@RayGoodwinCanoe Thank you! My curved blade square tip slalom paddles just don't seem to really cut it for me anymore. Any insight on paddles - especially design and pros and cons for white water? I'd love to see a video about that. Thanks!
