Volume 5 - Forward Paddling: Keep up with your paddling friends with the
minimum of effort. Learn good blade placement, efficient application
of power and how to keep a straight course without wasting precious
energy. What causes blade flutter and why do kayaks weather-cock? What
part do your feet, legs and torso play in your forward stroke, and how
can you modify your stroke to take advantage of a following sea? Learn
the answers and much more from someone who has fine-tuned the forward
stroke through thousands of miles of expedition paddling. This episode
also includes special bonus section on Greenland paddling with Greenland
expert Greg Stamer.
Volume 6 - Rolling and Bracing: If you have a reliable roll and brace, your confidence level in a kayak will rise to new levels. Nigel Foster looks at some non-intimidating ways to learn a roll, examines the essential components of different braces and a variety of practical everyday rolling techniques.
Kelly has a way of transferring his passion for kayaking to everyone who attends a talk, lesson or paddles with him. A very patient and conscientious instructor, I always feel safe during lessons on and off the river. Not only does Kelly teach the sport, he finds ways to help you find your niche and meet others who share the same interest. In addition, the other instructors he brings along are equally as knowledgeable and helpful. If you haven't tried kayaking or want to hone your skills, this is a great place to start.
