Forward Stroke Clinic, by Brent Reitz

60 minutes. The video that brings the techniques of this elite Olympic kayaker to the recreational paddler. The forward stroke is the most used and least taught stroke in kayaking. Paddle more efficiently, avoid injury and avoid bad habits that cause further injury. Learn proper technique from the very beginning, or tune-up skills to gain more power per stroke. Brent clearly and concisely models the forward stroke in 5 easy steps; torso rotation, elbow lift, the catch, pushing with a bent elbow and the exit.
