Coaching topic: Video Analysis

Its about time we did another video analysis to see how you are doing or to video you for the first time. Video feedback is very important from time to time so you can see what you actually look like.

After coaching, we will either do our regular 2 mile time trial training course or interval training.

Hope to see you Wedensday at 5 pm Hawaii Kai boat ramp.

If you missed the video from a couple of weeks ago- surfing on raceboards- here is the link:

Where: We meet by the Hawaii Kai Boat ramp and enter the water on the small beach on the left of the boat ramp. We will start with some weekly coaching tips and stretches before hitting the water to do some drills and warm up for the time trial.

When: 5:00 pm this Wednesday and every Wednesday until further notice

What: We will start with signup, technique coaching on the grass with a different topic/focus each week, drills, warmup, paddle to the start. The time trial will start around 6:15 pm on the beach at Portlock. We will keep track of name, race number, board class (12′6, 14′, unlimited, other watercraft welcome to join) and male/female, no age groups.

Why: The goal is to improve technique, stay in shape and boost performance. Comparing times will allow us to see improvements in conditioning, the effect of using different technique and gear, and the impact of the conditions/wind. Times will be recorded and posted online after each time trial and we will have a spreadsheet that will make it easy to compare performance. We want to encourage some of the younger paddlers and help them become competitive racers. Please join us and forward this email to any friends you think might be interested, the more the merrier. Although the coaching/time trials are geared towards more advanced paddlers, we always welcome less experienced paddlers that want to improve their skills.

The finish is at the red #14 marker.

If you purchase a 10 pack, we will use the time trial results to keep track of how many time trials you have attended. Jeff is keeping a spreadsheet of who paid and how many credit were used. We will let you know when the next payment is due. Mahalo!
