Technique Analysis
Great training only delivers results when it’s paired with an efficient stroke. If your technique isn’t right, you’re working harder than you need to and limiting your speed.
When I began taking SUP seriously in 2016, I rebuilt my stroke using knowledge from Ocean Ski, Kayak, and Surf Life Saving. At the time, SUP technique focused heavily on hip shift, rotation, and sweeping the water. It never felt natural or efficient to me.
Through years of testing, racing, and coaching, I developed a stroke centred around a strong catch, driving straight down, accelerating through the power phase, and releasing early at the feet. I use body weight, keep the feet planted, and apply a simple leg pump to help generate power.
I paddle the way I coach. This approach has helped me and many athletes improve performance and achieve consistent results at the highest level.
I call it the BOOTH Method.
A simple, repeatable system designed to make you faster, more efficient, and more confident on the water.
To get started, you’ll submit three short videos (front, side, and rear views), showing both left and right strokes. From there, your technique is analysed and clear feedback is provided, along with specific focus areas and recommended next steps.
