The conceptualisation of the modern dynamic style of paddling is both introduced and developed throughout this refreshing film. Shot on the Soča in Slovenia at Gene17's trip destination with the action from Gene17's staff including Deb Pinniger, Dave Carroll, Matt Tidy and Simon Westgarth, plus Patch Bennett, Satu-Vänskä-Westgarh and Beppe Caramella.

The chapter along with the whole DVD covers a lot more to do with modern dynamic paddling, and move away from prescribed strokes, more concepts and themes for dynamic stability.

Very cool. I like thinking abstractly, so these videos are right up my alley. I especially like the focus on lower torso tension. I can't wait to get out and try these bracing techniques. They are very different from what we were taught 90's. Makes sense though!
