With great water and weather, the time came to take friend and fellow paddler, Steve Doyle on his 1st day private instruction freestyle class. Steve has has been wanting to take the class and what better time than a sunny day off in the middle of the week. The day started out at Ender Hole on the Locust Fork of the Warrior before we went over to the Mulberry Fork of the Warrior. With two different rivers it allowed us to work on different moves in different locations. Learning at different locations helps you tweak all different aspects of your freestyle. While on the Locust Fork we hiked up to Big Scarum and check out the waterfalls.
This day was great for him as I saw him improve his skills as the day progressed.
To my surprise there was a fire barell from NAWF 5 miles downstream at Ender Hole.
Some of the skills we worked on with great imrpovements were rudders, spins, cartwheels, edge control, rock-a-babies, double pump, reverse double pump, offside roll, forward sweeps, backward sweeps, blunts and setting up by surfing out to the corners. Great day and way to go Steve. Keep practicing and everything will come with perseverance.
Here is a photo of a perfect cartwheel Steve did after he started leading with his eyes and committing to pushing and pulling his sweep strokes.
