Mr. HATER (aka - Craigparkskayak) go troll somewhere else. I just bought my kayak today, and am enjoying every video she has made. Must be nice to be perfect, bet you are fun to live with, too... I look forward to your "perfect" videos when they come out...(especially since you are bored at work...)

@craigparkskayak you seem to have a comment on every one of these clips, and none of them of particular value. If you know so much better you should tape your own so you won't have to come down to the beginners level and critique everyone else's. As beginners we don't have technique yet, and some won't be familiar with their hand movements and positions, so this is valuable information.

Hands should be where palms are flush with shaft... bent shaft only has "really nice place" if it is correct length for user... sorry, still bored at work.... paddle shaft indexing takes care of "knuckle orientation", should be moot point if they are familiar with their hands
