Ok I know it is not a sea paddling picture but at least we are out doing something. The first G2 Outdoor Alpine ski mountaineering trip get's going with great weather and powder in the Gemmi Pass area of Switzerland. Sea Paddling will follow soon!!

We've all gone skiing!!

T There is too much snow to go Sea Paddling so we are all on the slopes or getting amongst the backcountry. Check out all the G2 backcountry, ski mountaineering and winter skills courses.

Use your stomach muscles

A small exercise to help you engage your stomach muscles while forwards paddling. The sound is a bit poor but essentially start with straight locked arms and forwards paddle. Gradually bend at the elbow. It may feel a little awkward at first but you should definatly feel your stomach muscles engage

Its a bit choppy!

Handa Island is an awsome place but the tides and weather can make it "a bit choppy". If conditions are right then it is a great day trip from Scourie. Remember that the West side has no landings and can be very committing. Enjoy

Coping with a following sea

Some tips to help you cope with a small swell

• Stay upright to forwards for balance.
• Relax and let the boat move around.
• If you like it as the wave picks up the stern of your boat apply power and enjoy a small surf.
• If you dont like it as the wave picks you up back paddle a couple of strokes to escape!

The paddler in the video is a bit ridgid and nervous but for her 3rd day out its not bad. She is starting to get to grips with balance and the odd support stroke.
