North Wales Kayak Fishing
kayak Essentials DVD
This is my review of the kayak Essentials DVD
The DVD is by bubble TV kayak essentials is a DVD which is aimed at teaching us the correct paddle strokes and techniques to get the most from our kayaking experience the DVD is aimed at both experienced and novice paddlers there are also some great coaching tips included in the tutorials
The DVD starts with a full screen menu I would
recommend firstly viewing the using this DVD section this is a nice
plain guide to using the DVD to enable us to get the most from the
disc.
The opening menu screen shows us the chapters divided in to sub
sections this is a great feature allowing us to simply watch the
section we want so lets say you want to learn the scull and draw
then you don’t have to spend time looking for that chapter
you can go straight to it and watch it over and over
again
Each paddle stroke is broken down to easy to
follow guides with extra tips for coaches and
Essential challenges
Special freeze frame photography and graphics help us understand the key points of each stroke
In the DVD a variety of sit inside kayaks are used but the strokes and techniques are exactly the same for the sit on top kayaks
The instruction and demos are given by Nick Cunliffe, Matt Giblin
and Lynsey Evans
Who are all respected bcu coaches
The strokes are filmed from several angles so you can see exactly
what you should be doing when learning the lessons
This is a DVD you will watch over and over again learning new
things every time you watch and inspiring you to learn new strokes
it will improve what you already know and tidy up your technique no
end.
I found the DVD to be brilliant it’s the best DVD I have seen for
showing the paddle strokes.
The instruction is very clearly set out and the multi angles
and clear instructions make it easy to learn each stroke in
turn.
I liked the main menu allowing me to watch a particular
stroke several times.
I specially liked the way the DVD is set out and aimed at
paddlers of all experience.
The retail of the DVD is £19.99 and worth every penny I think the
title of the DVD says it all really kayak Essentials
.
You can see some clips of the DVD on the bubble tv
website
