A great list of tips on growing paddling skills was featured on cboats.net recently and they apply equally to kayaking. The author's premise is:
"we teach people (paddlers) how to do things, but we don't teach them where to do them and how to get better." These tips seem right on target and remind me of Jim Simmons' teachings back 20 years ago.
Good stuff!!!

That's a nice little guide. I'll add one that helped me a lot. Boof everything! Pat Keller's dad told him that when he was learning. It really made a difference for me.
