Well, I found that video very interesting too. But I don't know why. Probably because it was so ................................................strange is the word I am looking for. Seems like he is on his own wave length. To each their own I guess. ET.
About half way in, when he's talking about the J stroke and C stroke (strokes from the world of canoes and kayaks) he talks about paddling in white water rivers, on short, wide plastic boards with little (or no) fins. Seems to me like those strokes might make sense on a very turny thing in bumpy, swirly water.
yes you see some interesting stuff on the internet, just the other day I read about "x" who is 9 times NZ and Aus sup champion and I had never heard of him.......

Yes I think I may have stumbled across that article where "x" makes some absurd claims to boost credibility for some sort of endorsement.
Well he is only talking about white water .I use the C & J strokes in the surf chasing the pocket of the wave on a take off, it comes from outrigger days. I sometimes also will pull over from the other side without switching hands to spin the board from the nose instead of of kick turn to catch a wave.You will also see Keahi , Dogman ect do the same on cutbacks. So all good skills in that video just combine them with your normal strokes on both sides.
He knows all the stroke techniques but most good coaches and paddlers call for the bottom arm to be straight when in the pull/power stage something that might be unique to sup. To only paddle on one side is ridiculous. its not a c1. You would have to do a lot of off water work to keep balancing up your body structure
