Looking for training at home?

Kevin Olson paddling drills. Things you can work on water at home or at your local dam or pond without traveling. Kevin demos in a solo canoe. YouTube is great!!! The video is 7:30 min long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwjn-3tAJvQ&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR38-yYMUjVQmkSY-HdgMvoDY8uRTcTWmAjjL_A79i56qepcXDDftqIT3Oo
