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

Come on Ray , you have to be nice with us. It s already a challenge to go straight forward in a proper form ,now you want us to in reverse.... Great wonderful video as usual.

Really clear video for such complex strokes. Thanks

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. 😁👍

Another belter. Nicely explained.

Finding your stroke tutorials clear and really easy to grasp, nice one Ray! atb

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.

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 😁🛶

Thanks Ray, that's great and definitely something to practise on the local canal. Really well explained .

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

Ye... and a reminder that power is available in the core of the body.

Really helpful, can't wait to get out and give these strokes a try!

Gracias !!! Por compartir....👏. 🇺🇾

Another well done we will be using these with American Canoe courses, or I will, cheers Mike Aronoff Chair ACA River Comm.

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.

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

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!
