Film from the bank
Your stroke looks nothing like it feels.
Why your shoulders ache
Because your arms are doing a job your torso was built for.
How we work
Rotation, decisions, distance
The forward stroke looks simple and rewards precision. A clean catch and real torso rotation move the boat further per stroke with less effort, and the difference shows within a couple of outings.
Decisions matter more than technique for safety. Offshore wind, a falling tide and cold water have ended more days badly than any stroke fault, and those calls are made on shore.
What we won't do is teach rescues by video. Capsize recovery has to be practiced in water with someone qualified beside you, and we'd rather send you to a course than pretend otherwise.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Decide on shore
The forecast decides the trip, not the drive you already made.
Rescue training in person
Life jacket every time, and never learn rolls from a screen.
Shall we look at your paddling?
Twenty minutes, free, on your stroke and your next trip.
