Forward paddling form (active position)<\/strong><\/p>\nHead over knees, cycling action, navel pushed forward, not hunched and head down. Shoulder back & head up.<\/p>\n
Turning and paddle for broken waves<\/strong><\/p>\nIt is not acceptable for athletes to have feet down whilst turning or paddling for waves (Waveski)<\/p>\n
Turning static<\/strong><\/p>\nUse a combination of reverse and forward sweep strokes and reverse pry\u2019s with some awareness of support from the reverse strokes.<\/p>\n
Turning on the move<\/strong><\/p>\nAppropriate use of forward sweeps\/rapid forward strokes and edge control.<\/p>\n
Surf left\/right in whitewater and green waves<\/strong><\/p>\nSome tripping on the rail is acceptable but should be outweighed by successful runs.<\/p>\n
Surf left and right from an unbroken wave takeoff<\/strong><\/p>\nWave selection should be in evidence with appropriate angle of takeoff. Athletes should demonstrate a knowledge and use of suitable bottom turn in reference to the wave i.e. turning high on the wave if it is fast and steep, a mid-wave turn or a bottom turn in the trough should the wave allow. The kayaker or waveski rider should trim the wave face until the wave closes out. Continued control in the whitewater athlete should surf left and right in a zigzag until wave loses power. Use of stern rudder\/pry\/low brace rudder to maintain and change direction.<\/p>\n
Bottom turns and top turns<\/strong><\/p>\nTurns should be executed with some thought to maintaining the run. An inappropriate use of turns is not a fail but should be highlighted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23020"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23020"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23053,"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23020\/revisions\/23053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canoe.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
