I taught her right

Post by Walsh »

Before she got started with all this double-bladed tomfoolery, I taught her the right way to paddle. Three years later she hops back in a barely outfitted c-boat with a paddle that's 5" too long and makes the rest of us look like chimps. Dammit.

p.s. Later in the video is a promising K to OC convert. I'm teaching two converts the bathtub roll next week.

ORGT Thursdays at 7:45. I think non-CRC members need to pony up $5 now.

p.s. If you're there this Thursday, I'll be happy to give some pointers. I already have one student lined up for the evening, so it will be a good time to work on mechanics.

I appreciate it, but won't be able to make it this Thursday. Shoot me an email - todhunter at gatech dot edu - maybe we can line up a session in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks a ton for the help Jon - I can't believe I was able to get a roll in your Skeeter!

Now to get it in the L'Edge...

Sweet. I'm working on a convert myself - a local kayaker has gotten the OC bug and I got him rolling my SF last week. It ain't pretty, but we can work on pretty later.
