Your presentation is awesome Ethan. I am struggling with getting past "tippy" and the practice ideas you present make so much sense. Like others who have commented on your advice, I can't wait to get out on the water tomorrow to practice. So, well done Ethan!!

That boat actually makes a fun little canoe! But yes, too deep to make body contact.

For someone who just bought a equinox tipped over from a motor boat wake this is very helpful. I can't wait to practice those strokes to improve my balance and skills

Just bought my first yak today - a used Sun Dolphin Aruba 8 SS. I took it in my local creek this evening and it’s… pretty unstable. But, it tracks decently and it moves swiftly. I just need to learn my balancing. I’m going to upgrade this winter once all the nicer yaks are on clearance.

Very helpful video, Ethan. I'm an intermediate paddler and always learning. Going to try out those strokes once it warms up a bit.

Excellent video that gave me a lot to think about and try next time I am on the water. I have been struggling to improve my bracing and liked the examples you gave to practice proficiency.

Its funny how people buy sea kayaks or any performance kayaks and expect it to be like a fishing kayak stable just because it cost a lot

Exactly. I look at it as roller skating vs roller blading. Two completely different experiences for two completely different persons.

All the same except your thighs and hips aren’t involved in contacting the kayak. The brace strokes are still equally valuable.
