Arm Mechanics for Energy-Efficient Paddling: Top & Bottom Arm Technique (Parts 5-6)

Energy efficiency isn't about paddling slower—it's about eliminating waste. Every degree your top arm deviates from optimal position, every millimeter your bottom arm bends unnecessarily, you're burning precious watts that should be driving you forward. In distance ocean racing, these micro-inefficiencies compound into minutes lost, positions dropped,podiums missed. Ivan Lawler's two-part arm technique breakdown is a masterclass in biomechanical precision. Whether you're grinding through a 20km downwind or racing Molokai, these arm mechanics will help you paddle faster, longer, with less fatigue. Watch both episodes back-to-back—your shoulders will thank you.
