How to double pump 101 from Adrian Shanahan on Vimeo.
Hi,
A few days back on of the guys from the UKRGB Bren (aka Peakfreak) posted up that there are no videos online that just explain the “double pump” and any that try assume too much previous knowledge from the person looking to learn.
I had being thinking of doing up a few wee how to tutorials but was being a bit lazy about it, I took this as a bit of motivation. I hit a part of the local river two cameras and tripod in hand. Sadly after I had uploaded the footage to my laptop I some lost it all , a fecking disaster so I flew back down to the river with my younger brother Keith “shaky hands” Shanahan and managed to get only 6mins of raw footage before the battery died. I managed to salvage this after all that.
This has kinda inspired me to put a bit of effort in and knock out a few more hoping to improve on the quality.
Stay tuned……

very good video and i will be sure to test it out……… as u no i am on irishfreestyle and i am trying to learn new things would u mind making a video of some more tricks and technic’s and preferably one on how to stay on a wave!!!!!! as i am struggling with it!!!! thanks jess………………

Hey.
Great job!

=)
Take care!
Nice video. It looks clearer to me now than in the past when viewing other videos. I’ll try it tonight in the pool. I’ll let you know when I get it and what helped. I expect it is the tip about leaning to the side and keeping shoulders square with the paddle.
Cheers,
Bob
Hey Bob,
I’m glad you liked the video, best of luck getting done. Let me know how you get on.

this video was the missing link to my double pump. i was able to do it on my first day out after watching this video. thanks.
Really? if so that’s impressive!
Glad it was of some use to you.
well i had been trying different things for about two years. before i could initiate the stern with ease but the bow seemed impossible.
what your video made clear was how far away from the boat the paddle is on the reverese stroke, how far you actually have to lean, and keeping your shoulders parallel with the paddle.
That’s savage man, well done for sticking with it, I still remember the first time I nailed it and was a great feeling.
Next step for you, “Linking Ends”
I’ve lost count of the people I link to this video now – its the only resource out there that really helps if you’ve never been able to do it before! You mentioned on UKRGB a while back about making a follow up on how to get the mythical third end – is this still on the cards?
Cheers
Sooner than you expect, its on the way.
