Great video - very helpful.

Always come back to this video. Great tool for instructors too, I find it can be hard to teach freestyle step by step but this is a great help

You'll be happy to know we will be revamping this video and adding two additional videos to make a paddling warmup series this year :)

I love these videos. They are more detailed than EJ's vids.

I am more of a class 4 boater but I have done a fair share of 5- and got lunched by one 5. I have little interest in play boating but discovering this video has opened my eyes up to fantastic practice tips for river running. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. It was excellent of you to put in such a big effort. May your days be plentiful with high water, big holes, and sunny days.

Thanks for making this video available. It has been a huge help in learning to playboat.

Nice warmup set. Rockabuy is called double pump usually.

alright, thanks.

Just plain old geeky glasses, with a geek strap. I got sick of using contacts and having them shift around.

Hrevo L - 11 years ago

Maybe a random question for this video, but are those glasses or goggles? and do they stay on well? I'm looking for an alternative to wearing contacts because I don't trust them staying in through rough water and any goggles ive found have been really uncomfortable.

This is the perfect video with ideas I can practice on a flat water pond in order to be ready to apply on whitewater! Thanks so much!

This video is awesome! I'm buying my first kayak (a playboat) and taking a class (recreational kayaking) this weekend. I have been trying to assemble a list of things to practice in my pool or on a still water creek near my home. This is perfect. Everything in one place. I could stay occupied with this for weeks. Thank you!

Hey Paul, I am about your weight but a bit taller and I paddle the 48X most often, although I do find that the 56X goes way bigger. However, do to an injury last year, I wanted to go a bit easier on my body this year. The 48X still goes huge for me and it is way easier to throw around, balance is your trade off though. I would recommend demo'ing both if you have the chance. Overall the Project X is a great freestyle boat and is highly recommended by lots of folks.

H2o Dreams - Paddlesports Education - 12 years ago

Hi Paul, I think the Project X is a great boat for those trying to get into freestyle, however if you mean a boat to get started in kayaking, check out river runners such as the Wave Sport Diesel, Dagger Mamba, Pyranha Burn or Jackson Zen... I highly recommend Wave Sport's outfitting, it's what sold me on Wave Sport to begin with.
