OC1 Workouts
uhhhh.... all I can see is a bunch of wise ass answers being thrown at you.
......so I'll start.
- Why train when you're not paddling?
- Paddling
- The one where you don't have to paddle that much
- I paddle it.
- Unstrap it from your truck, grab it with both hands, do a spin and fly that bastard ama as hard as you can.
Hope this helps.

wow, bravo ALOEK! had to pipe in and be the king wise ass of this post, what took you so long, it's only been 18 minutes since kcchee11 posted his question.
leave the wise cracks to the professionals like Ipaddleharder, unless your keen to be on his level too.

1 Bike racing. Fantastic cardio workout
2 Some days, long slow distance, some days, intervals.
3 Moving to maui in 3 days, so I'll have to see.
4 Same as on the bike, lsd mixed with intervals.
5 Even on flat water, take 5 hard strokes, put your paddle in the brace position, and lean right. You'll get the feeling in an afternoon easy.

- Get boat up to speed and get comfortable flying ama while bracing during the glide like jibofo stated, then:
5a: "snap" ama in the air with hips at begiing of stroke, keeping ama flying throughout stroke while paddle's in the water for balance/fulcrum. Work on getting balance down so you no longer need to use paddle in water as a "crutch"
5b: Lastly, work on maintaining ama flying on the stroke recovery. I'm still working on this part...

Hey Kcchee11
1- in a gym with weights and a StairMaster. and the ball for balance.4 times a week for 1 1/2 hours
2- we work up to 10 to 12 Klm a day. moor if we are doing a long race.
3- when the strong wind comes from the west it makes nice sets.its not that often and they are not that big.
4- mostly the 10 k runs but once and while we will practice starts or sprints.
5- while paddling lift it a bit, a little at first, and gradually moor.
On a side note if you race with other guys at practice a little better than you you will get better.And jogging is great for training
Jibofo you lucky bugger. Ill send some of them donuts.

- Surf!
- No specific workout, but I do seem to have a routine I fall into, I like big seas and being outside alone so I'll try to get "off shore runs" as much as I can. Otherwise, I'll "chase the rabbits" inshore for 5 or 6 miles. I try to get 5 days on the water like this.
- Hilo => Halau -> Papa'ikou Mill -> Honoli'i -> Whistling Bridge -> Surf @ Bayfront -> Halau
- Training?
- Surfing will definately help you develop your ama sensibilties!

FYI: its way easier to "grab your ama with both hands" and "teach it a lesson" if you're wearing a skirt.
Just in case you didn't know or wanted to know.
