Since 2019 I had to pull out of some long distance marathon races with my lower back becoming very painful. I started concentrating on using my hips and managed to finish my last few races with no back problem and better speed averages as well. This video of yours about the weak torso muscles is the first believable explanation what was happening to me when my back stopped me from finishing a race.

Very helpful!

Love this video. I see so many paddlers not using their hips. I feel like some of the bigger paddlers that have to squeeze into the seat prevents them from turning their hips effectively.

This is really helpful. I'm a dragon boater, and I was told by a coach the other day about rotating more from the hip. This breaks it down in detail more. Thanks!

Thanks' for commenting on this mistake. I have an old kayak with no footrests and make this mistake all the time. It gets painful after a few hours paddling and I usually need a break. I didn't realize I'm potentially hurting my spine. Like your channel, thank you for educating!

Thank you for posting this! I am a newer kayaker that has just started getting into some smaller races. I've completely been doing the rotation wrong, and this video provides some very valuable information.

I haven't seen much discussion on hip rotation in OC, especially OC1. I have heard warnings to keep it smoot and don't rock the boat.

@K2NOPS 3 ай бұрын

Ever seen a k1 or surfski before? Way more rotation and the vessel doesn't rock... hip rotation keeps your weight centered when used right!!!

IS this rotation that you get when using a Ski the advantage over a sit in kayak?

@K2NOPS 3 ай бұрын

Bingo! You're still looking for this movement in a sit in... even if the hips don't move as much you're still trying to move them if that makes sense.

Just got 5 vertebrae in neck fused together and need another 2 or more in lumbar after paddling 40 miles a day 3 days a week for many decades. So I need to get into a ski, yes? V8? great videos!!

V8 would be a wonderful start

My fast sea kayak has an aluminum surf ski-style foot brace installed so I can use proper hip rotation. Makes a big difference. But most sea kayak manufacturers aren’t familiar with these concepts yet. When I inquired direct to a British sea kayak maker about installing a foot brace, he responded, “but why would you do that?” When I explained, he said I’d have to do it on my own. Frankly, most sea kayakers paddle with their arms and at most with some torso rotation. Just my observations!

I will have to agree with you. As I do, even with wing paddles. But I am going to make adjustments to my boats.
