Learn to Freestyle Kayak #1: Vertical Force

Want to have more fun in a playboat? Check out my 4-part series on the flatwater drills that will take you to the next level. If you practice these skills in the flatwater, you'll be able to learn twice as fast and have more fun! This video is about pushing downs on the ends of your boat vertically. If you practice this stuff, I promise that you will get better faster. This was shot on the Ottawa River in Canada, and in Iowa. Sorry for the audio quality. I'll clean it up before the next one:)

As always, these techniques are a combination of my thoughts and experiences combined with ideas that I've stolen from other great instructors such as Eric Jackson, Billy Harris, and Sam Ward. Feel free to steal my ideas and use them to teach people to have more fun kayaking :)
