Apple Podcasts5TerdfancierAustralia5 years ago - Race start
Great advice on Race starts, a solid warm up and holding back for the first bit,, needed the reminder as the body and mind want to go flat out with the adrenaline of the start.. thanks.
Apple Podcasts5Ant DeagueAustralia6 years ago - 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.

I just recently discovered this podcast and am 100% hooked on it. Julian is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of surfski paddling and he provides advice and tips on how to improve your paddling. I highly recomment this podcast for surfski paddlers and competitive kayakers alike. This is the podcast for paddlers I've been hoping somebody would do.

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.

Apple Podcasts510 SportAustralia7 years ago - 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
