Heads Up...or not
Remember Rick and his scull from a few posts back? Well, he was back in the pool last night, and his scull is now looking good. Good for Rick.Now, let's work with Carl.

to quote you, "lets off with their heads", would solve a lot of kayak problems
Maybe it could help Rick to scull not 90 degrees to the hull but more like 45 - 60 degrees from the bow. More relaxed, better for the shoulder, flatter back, and as stable.

Eee - is that a scull? I try and start people floating on their back with their head in the water and a more extreme arch to their back than they think they need while I "spot" them from the opposite side of the kayak. Then add in the high-brace scull maneuvre and gradually let them take over. I'll credit David Johnston for that one - is what he did to me and it works ;-)
That's the way I do it. These guys are really at the pool on their own while everyone gives them 1,000 suggestions.
Steve: I checked, and your solution is illegal in Wisconsin.
The "pool noodle static brace" is also a nice intermediate training tool, too - little more floatation than paddle but not enough that you can totally ignore that back arch
Poodle noodle, eh? New name to me.
