Paddling Your Skin-on-Frame Kayak

the content is definitely “MasterClass” quality! as a seasoned sea kayaker, the content was a great refresher as well as it provided certain “hacks” to further improve my techniques to paddle safe. Thank you!!!

Very interesting course, I saw greenland paddle on youtube but never tried them and thought it was something "exotic". Pleased to understand how it can replace (in some cases) my "plastic/fiberglass" one. Especially for cruising on long distance reducing arm/shoulder strain. Also interested in the bracing process. I'm more waveskiing than kayaking so that's important to me because it's much more unstable than a kayak and should prevent from roll over, i'll try to train on this! Thanks a lot. I just discovered your youtube channel 2 days ago and spent my all evening watching the skin-on-frame canoe playlist. Your explanations are great! your "do it for real instead of guessing" way to improve your design is so different from other builder! I like it!

These videos are a great 'value-add' ... thanks so much !

I thought that this was a great introductory course into safely deploying your boat and getting between points A and B. From transporting your boat, getting in the water and staying afloat. IMHO -You covered the basics and some dynamics as well as possible without actually being in a boat on the water. I think a great 2nd course (still out of the water) would be to discuss safety and practical thinking for solo and group trips. You touched briefly on a couple of points in this course, but there is so much more to think about and practice for both solo and group outings. As a master scuba diver and an avid motorcyclist I learned that being prepared and having ground rules is essential to a safe a fun outing.

Hi, many good tips for paddling. I specially liked the stretch program and I have made progress with that. Also many other useful tips. thanks Sixten

Well worth the time to watch. I picked up some real nuggets of wisdom. Thanks.

This is beauty. Nothing else out there compares to what Brian has put together in this body of information. A rich blend of Skin kayak knowledge with a love of teaching and paddling. All this is presented in a fresh, lively, concise format. Highly recommended for newbie or seasoned paddlers alike. These boats, paddles, coupled with consistent effort will yield a life time of enjoyment exploring the water world with grace. It will strengthen your core, preserve your shoulders, while growing a high performance practice with high performance tools. This is a gift. Enter here.

I like the way you have assimilated information and techniques from a variety of paddling traditions. I have some Greenland background, and a good bit of paddling modern kayaks, and you do a great job of combining the best of these (and white water) to explore lots of practical techniques. Your enthusiasm and communications skills are also great. Thanks for the videos.

I have struggled with rolling having done a few courses this year here in BC , and will do another session in the pool in two weeks with the White Water club in Chilliwack. I have a great hip flick BUT I need to get in my head the paddle bit when upside down in the water . Of as an aging triathlete not scared of water. I am going to work on the feather scull as you show. I know where you are in Oregon but it;s two days south even if I live on the Wash border ! Thank you again I wish you better health in 2017 .
