Free Spirits Rowing

My wife raced outrigger canoes for 22 years. After a brief pause (of about 20 years) she is interested in competing again. She raced this year, but only half-heartedly. Next year she plans to devote much more time to training and is interested in using the C2 for off-season conditioning.

I looked for C2 technique videos and wasn't impressed. Some showed a very jerky stroke, most showed hands dropping down toward the ankles and almost all showed a sharp wrist bend at the end of the drive. The goal is not to compete on the water, but to maintain cardio while not getting injured so she'll have a head-start in the Spring.

Here is what she wants:

• No Condescension
• No Histrionics or Melodrama
• Clear Verbal Instructions
• Backed by video showing the parts of the stroke...
• ... and everything put together

Any recommendations?

I would use John's videos at https://youtube.com/@rowalong covers all aspects, perhaps start with "beginners" video 2 down on right.

Awesome. Thanks!
