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.

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,, 📖📖😀.

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

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.
@RayGoodwinCanoe2 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
