“Sunset Over Blue Ridge”
Paddle Optional😂
Fun in the Sun!!
Stroke timing is just as important as every other aspect of paddling. Practicing consistency will help you up your game!
Phases of Boof Stroke Timing:
The Approach: Use your vision to lock on to the target. Gain some speed using your paddle and core muscles to achieve the proper boat angle. This will allow you to counter the currents momentum.
The Plant: Put the blade fully in the water up by your feet. Do not wait until it is next to your seat, or you will lose power and slap the water.
The Power: Just as you come upon the lip, edge, rock or drop. Lean forwards, then pull straight back alongside the kayak using your torso and core muscles, not just your arms, while lifting your knees and thrusting your hips.
The Exit: Take the blade out of the water right as it reaches your hip. Pulling past your hip can act like a brake and turn the boat off-line.
The Rhythm: Unwind one side as you wind up the other. Again, keep a steady pace to hold your momentum against the currents.
SHOUT FOR JOY!
