Two paddlers. Same move. Very different approach.

Can you spot which paddler is using the river more efficiently? đź‘€
Hint: count the strokes.

Both paddlers are part of STOKED, our intermediate travelling teen kayak camp, where young paddlers build confidence, refine their technique, and learn how to work with the river.
