Now before I start with my few
steps I would like to say there are many different ways to be a “keen paddler”
but I think that these are a few steps people sometimes forget and I think are
valuable. Now onwards!!
Step 1- Make sure your gear fits
and suits you!
You would be surprised the amount
of people that don’t get gear that’s is comfy or that have a boat that really
doesn’t fit. So go to a retailer/outfitter or even somebody that knows how to
get the best fit. Last week I got help with boat outfitting and wow, all my playboat
moves are feeling easier and more fluid when I attempt them.
Step 2- Practice Practice
Practice!!
This isn’t the first time you’ve
heard this and won’t be the last and for good reason. If you don’t practice you
won’t get the move/ trick or technique down and always think back to another
move you tried to learn and how long it took but you got it and now you have it
perfect.
So practice!
Step 3- Have Fun!
Do you remember the first set of
rapids you paddled, the first roll you did or even the first drop you ever did
I hope you do because I think you also remember the feeling of you doing it. Butterflies, fear, shock and
finally happiness: isn’t that why we do what we love? It’s fun and makes us
happy, like extremely happy, and never forget that.
