Just follow along as I take a paddler from beginner to advanced. You learn everything she learns, see her progress and the feedback I give her to keep her advancing her skills.
who it's most suited for:
You’re already using the Greenland paddle, and you are committed to developing the techniques that work well with it. Even if it means trying something a little different, or contrary to what you already learned. The Inuit have been developing sea kayaking for thousands of years. These techniques are not new.
But they're very new to most paddlers.
In fact if you have taken kayak lessons before you probably learned something that is preventing you from having good balance with your kayak. Here’s what I’ve learned from teaching and developing this method for 15 years.
What Is "The Club"?
Here Is What People Have To Say
The most useful thing that I have taken from these videos is that torso rotation really starts at the feet and involves the butt & hips more so then twisting at the waist or shoulders. My confidence in conditions and ability to maneuver my kayak is vastly improved.
Ryc Williamson Portland, Washington
Instead of controlling the boat your approach is more spiritual. It's different but allowed me more success and enjoyment. Your segment on fitting the kayak changed my not being able to balance brace to success the first time after fitting the kayak. Also made a dramatic difference in success on the forward finishing roll.
Bill Faulkenberry Chesapeake, Virginia
It was difficult for me to let go of my Euro paddle techniques and my performance suffered from this. Paulo has opened another world for me with his patient teaching. I like the way the videos blend the use of rolling, bracing and sculling to form a solid set of skills that keep me from panic when I find myself in an unfamiliar, dynamic situation.

About Your Teacher
Paulo Ouellet
I started kayaking with a dream to explore the beautiful Gulf Islands. After a few scary crossings I realized I was far from having the skills to keep myself safe. I was practicing daily but not improving fast enough. The day I discovered the Greenland paddle and the traditional techniques was a life changer for me. I could not believe that most people are not using this timeless approach. Even without anyone teaching me I was rolling forward and back within a few months. And soon I could do what most paddlers can’t. After 20 years of using the Greenland paddle exclusively, and sharing the techniques for others for 15 years, I have learned a lot about how to teach these skills to help people get quick results.
My favorite thing to do is helping paddlers like you go on life changing trips.
