Great video. Thanks for posting -- I'm inspired! The canoe at the beginning and at the end looks like a Millbrook Shacho. Is that right and if so, what do you think of it?

You're right! We use glass boats for slalom racing. Sadly Esquif doesn't produce them. We have a Satcho, Ignitor, and a Prowler. Love them for racing. BTW the Spark was designed with Kaz (owner of Millbrook Boats)

i don't want to remember any of those technical names. i just want to feel the wave and the momentum and react.

Me too! Visual helps. Andrew is the technician and many people like to know why something works.

Awesome but sadly 90%of your strokes go WAY over your head, and you criss cross without switching hands: my poor shoulders pop out of joint just watching you... but it is good info and maybe I can adapt it (short low strokes close to the body, no cross strokes)

The cam forward technique which concentrates on using forward (no friction) (2x4) has X strokes. That's why our paddle length is shorter. I went from a 56 to 52 inch. Andrew went from 60 to 56. Saves those shoulders!
