So here are three aspects to show you how.
PADDLE BLADE
To begin with, let me tell you something about the blade. How does it impact on your paddling? It should be thinking of the blade whether working for you or not while you are paddling. When the blade is out of the water then it is not working well for you. You want the blade done his job, the best way is that put your paddle blade fully immerse in the water. And then the paddle blade should go into the water with no splash, much like a knife cutting a butter. In that case, you can apply the power to paddle shaft, bringing the board up to the blade and slide through the water to move forward. It’s a small trick that can reinforce your paddling.
PADDLING STROKE
In the next place, there’s no shortcut of improving your techniques. Because you cannot expect your paddling technique improves on its own without practice. As a matter of fact, we’ve got bunch of different muscle groups in our bodies and they can all play a part in paddling. So, it will work because of your muscle strengths and your body shape when you are doing the most efficient stroke.

Thus, you need to find the most effective stroke that suits your body structure and practice them again and again. Another is that you cannot process it only through knows it. It is not reasonable that just sit there and plan out your stroke like what gesture and angle you are going to use. How much pressure that use in your stroke. The entire paddle stroke is over and done within a second. Hence, all we need just go for it and decompose our paddle stroke and take one stroke at a time. And it will get better and better by taking a couple of strokes to paddle proficiently.

Although there are many ways to paddle as well as many different techniques being used by the paddlers. The secret paddling technique is a great clean catch that essential to make the paddle start gripping nicer and longer. However, how to finish the great clean catch? As I mentioned earlier, the more time to apply power to move the board forward and gripping properly. The sooner we can get it to grip a nice clean catch. Besides it will get better if you put the paddle in the right angle and slice it back. For somehow you’ve also completed a nice paddle stroke while doing this good clean catch. Therefore, Spending time working on getting that great clean catches will be sure to make you paddle very nice and far forward. It’s not about what styles of paddling you have got, just focusing on how to make your nice clean catch and combines the feature of your bodies to practice. I believed that will make you better at paddling.
Above all, it’s just a perfect technique for working on getting a really good catch and it’s really simple. Basically it just takes one stroke and all you’re thinking about is how to getting that perfect catch. So, if you want to improve your paddling, working on your catch will make you a better paddler.
