  • Gripping It

    G’day coach,

    The podcast on grip and grip pressure was a game changer for me. After listening more than half a dozen times and paddling straight away after it, my entire technique changed significantly. Leg drive and rotation now became a necessity as the stroke shortened and engaging lats ensured that everything was connected and integral. Moving much quicker than last year. Thanks mate.

    Been paddling for a long time but never been coached. In listening to these podcasts I have noticed a significant improvement in a very short time. Everything is so well explained, not just what to do but why to do it.

  • Awesome Tips for Surfski Paddling

    Even considering myself a growing intermediate surfski paddler and digesting everything I can on the sport (books, forums, videos, training camps), Coach Julian's Surf Ski Coach podcast gave me tips and analogies I never heard before. Great tips so far on such topics as easily determining paddle length, hip rotation (with that tip unlocking increased speed the first time I tried just looking at my GPS data), reading the waves and balance training have been invaluable to me. What I also like is... more
