V1 Foundations
Your first strokes in a solo outrigger: setup, posture, the catch, and staying upright.
New to the V1? This course takes you from carrying the canoe to the water to paddling a relaxed, efficient stroke for 30 minutes.
You'll learn to
- set up your canoe, seat and paddle for your body
- paddle with your core instead of your arms
- steer with the paddle and keep the ama down
- get back in after a huli, calmly
Each lesson ends with a short drill to take on the water. Log it in Training and your coach sees how it went.
