Have y’all heard this somewhere before? Wrap that pinky!

“Grab it like you mean it.” I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it because it’s something I see nearly all paddlers doing, myself included. Now when I say relaxed, I think you can maintain a “relaxed grip” AND keep all of your fingers around the shaft to optimize musclar engagement and stability. We used to teach- I was taught - to relax the grip to extend the reach. I think you are truly cheating yourself if you do. I’ve seen paddlers be able to almost instantaneously reverse their elbow pain from paddling with this simple grip shift because of the anatomy link between the pinky and the lat. Just try it. And let me know what you feel for yourself. If your interested in more, these are a few clips from one of the drill videos in Drill Video Series part 2 on the Seychelle SUP app going over “Paddle Power Grip.” This one’s completely free! 👆🏼👆🏼 Head over to the app to view the full video. Happy paddling! Stoked and grateful, Seychelle #supsessed #paddlefaster #seychellesupapp #stroketechnique #standuppaddle #supracing #paddletechnique

Senior A is the next Team USA division that we are proud to announce - congratulations to all of these folks who will be racing in Thailand very soon!

These 40-years-and-up athletes are coached by Marc Applewhite (Florida Tarpons Dragon Boat) and Ellen Law (Philadelphia Dragon Boat Association), and they have both said many times that this is absolutely the strongest Senior A crew that they've ever seen 💪😤🤜

In the past 10 years, Team USA Senior A has taken home 23 🥉, 24 🥈, but only 1 🥇 - in the standard boat mixed 1000m at the 2013 World Championships in Hungary.
And this cycle, exactly 10 years later, they're hungry for the gold - Senior A is coming for the rest of the world, and we're excited to watch them race next week!

Go USA! 🇺🇸
