Am looking for online video clips of various stroke techniques, particularly the sculling stroke that holds the kayak on edge almost 90 degrees. I've looked at several good clips on the Qajaqusa.org site, but would like to find other collections. Any hints out there. Thanks in advance!

I just purchased a used Avocet RM with wire skeg (built in '01). The wire 'seems' fine (no visible bends), but the skeg doesn't stay fully retracted. While the skeg does fully retract when I push the skeg slider forward, it slips out about 1-2 cm once I release the slider (the slider also moves back). Is there a way to 'tighten up' the skeg slider so it doesn't slide back on its own or is there some other way to fix this problem?

Again - a bit late, but.... I've put some on my website: http://www.onwatersports.com and click on movies in the upper nav bar. I don't have one on sculling however - I try to keep the boat on edge as much as possible using balance and then use good torso rotation while staying in the paddlers box - spreading iceing on the cake - I've seen too many people scull with the arms extended putting lots of pressure on the shoulder. Anyone else? While we are on the subject of strokes - how many people recover using hip snap with a head dink? Or j-lean to head dink - or bring the knee-bone-to-the-chin-bone - or when I drop my head (either to the shoulder or the arm pit) my knee automatically comes up? There are many ways to put it of course! I heard a rumor recently that it might be bad for the neck - but as I work in an office of physical therapists I showed it to them by modeling on the floor and they said "you have to teach that? It's a natural way to recover by keep your head on the same plane". I told them it had something to do with wanting to breath (!) by keeping the head up and out of the water. My high brace video shows what I mean....

Andree, These are some excellent clips. I've referred to them often in the last year, first when you (I think), introduced them to PW, and then when another person mentioned them in response to my query on video clips. Although there's no sculling brace, they contain lots of good visual information. I often wish more of us had time and expertise to take our DV cameras (or still digital cameras that do quick movies), use room on our web sites, and post some examples for enthusiasts to see. I am not yet quite expert enough to show much, but I'll bet if some of the folks here watched clips of me, they could offer some advice on technique. BTW- I just this summer learned how to use my still camera to take quick video clips. Finally got a dependable roll too. Never stops, this learning thing!

Windows-98 responds: "wrong media format", though MediaPlayer with Win-98 is supposed to open ".mov" files. Alex. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
