Hello ppl

Im new to playboating can anyone help me with some links to some video, which i can learn some begnniers move for playboating please. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hiya,
Buy your self a good dvd... EJ's or Ken Whiting, so you can review them to your hearts content. Be patient being on the learning curve. DO NOT bypass the basic fundamentals of playboating or you will be banging your head into a wall later. Get the technique down first and time and practice will come power and finesse.
Paddle w/ people that are more skilled than you and learn from them, watching the moves on a video will only take you so far. Someone w/ a good eye to tweek your technique is the way to go.
Oh, of cours practice, practice, practice... did I mention practice.

Have fun!!

Spin is right, the DVD from EJ is realy good and will help you step by step;
It's worth the money!!!
...and join a club where they can teach you the moves and you can test some playboats!

Good luck

I agree, get some videos. Both Ken Whiting and EJ videos are good and the \"Searching for teh Gee Spot\" is another perspective. Between all three of those you should be able to make some sense of things.

The great thing about videos is that they are usually full of more information that you need immediately, but with time you have yourself a wonderful reference resource to help encourage you to improve.

Think about this:
If you bought all three videos, you'd spend about $60.
What other piece of equipment costs as little as that and will help you as much?
I strongly encourage people to take lessons, but they are much more expensive.

Check out the Jackson site for some basic stuff

see Corran's blog for lots of carving videos

weekend clinics are good too

I know you asked for internet videos but I can't think of any right now. If I come across some stuff, Ill post back on this thread.

Thanks for the help ppl. Do any of you know whats the dvd called which i should get for playboating begnniers moves?

Cheers

You can get the videos at discount at Amazon or Ebay. Or, find a paddling friend or paddling club that has a good library of videos.

Well an easy trick is \"plowing ender\" its simple, padle hard throw your weight forward, youl go vertical:dance:

The DVD's are a good idea. As are some of the books by EJ and KW. In the meantime. Practise the very basics. Even just controlled back surfs and front surfs. This is very important. Moving around on the feature (wave/hole), left/right and higher/lower on the foam pile etc... Get relaxed and know where you are and how to get there. Then you're ready for spins and what not... The list goes on Have fun!

Thanks again lads

I sent off for E.Js playboating dvd's i have some riverrunning titles i found handy. Will get them in the post next week i'd say. I'll check out those other links you sent on and hopefully i'll get the right water level to practice on. The rivers here are after dropping a couple of foot the last few weeks not good!!!!.
